you are awesome,

first person i have encountered on the net that is willing to explain DNS’s purpose in a practical way

I have some programming experience but very little knowledge on how the internet operates when you ‘pop the hood’. I discovered your site because my website is having an ‘Internal Server Error’ (wit yo bad self) everytime i try to send my users an email- either that or it just won’t send any mail at all… and won’t tell me

I’m facing the prospect of having to learn the meaning of DNS, IP, SMTP, MX Records and CNAMEs from scratch, any advice?

Thanks, you did a great job of explaining about something I was always curious of, but had no idea what it was till now. You explained everything very simply and clearly.

Great post, thanks!

Thanks for the really clear explination of DNS. Now I will have to subscribe to your feed so I can get your follow-up articles on the subject. I didn’t think I would be interested in the subject but I was total caught up in your explination.

Great Job

Nick
