FAQ about Domain:
1. What
is a domain name / web address?
Domain name is a name that identifies computer or computers
on the Internet. By using domain name (yourdomain.com),
people can access your home page on your website. It can also be used as part
of your e-mail address. For example: sales@your-domain.com.
A domain name is completely unique and there cannot be two
same website names on the Internet. In this way, different
companies are able to identify themselves in a unique
manner. Domain names correspond to a series of numbers
called Internet Protocol numbers (IP numbers), that serve as
routing addresses on the Internet.

5. What are
Email auto responders ?
By using email auto responders, you can setup a special type
of email account. Whenever someone sends an e-mail on that
account, they receive an auto-reply without any manual
intervention. They look like a pop account. Usually the
e-mails we receive from auto responders read as “Thanks for
sending your e-mail. This is an auto generated reply.”

6. What is DNS ?
The Domain Name Server or DNS translate the human-readable
domain name into machine-readable IP adress. It can be
considered something similar to a phone book. When you move
from one location to another, your name stays the same, but
your phone number changes. In order to point your name to
the new phone number, you must contact the telephone service
provider, so that they assign you the new phone number and
update all directory information to reflect you as pointing
to this new phone number.
In this way, the IP number can be compared to a phone
number: When someone calls http://www.example.com/, your ISP
looks at the DNS server, and asks "how do I contact
example.com?" The DNS server responds: "It can be found at
198.105.232.4". As the Internet understands it, this can be
considered the phone number for the server, which houses the
http://www.example.com web site.
The DNS records for your domain are kept on your hosting
server in the place called DNS zone. When you register a
domain by means of the control panel, all DNS records are
automatically created for you. But in some rare cases, you
may need to add custom records to your DNS zone. An example
would be, when you want all emails to be processed by an
external mail server rather than by the built-in mail
system. However, such user intervention requires knowledge
of DNS configuration and clear understanding of what is to
be done.
