What is DNS and How Does It Work?

DNS, or Domain Name System, is like the internet's phonebook. It translates human-readable domain names (like nevron.io) into machine-readable IP addresses (like 167.89.01.23), which are used by servers to locate websites and services.

Without DNS, you'd need to type in long strings of numbers (IP addresses) to visit a website instead of its name.

For a domain name to point to a specific server, you need to configure its DNS settings. This involves creating a DNS record, such as an A record, which tells the domain where to go. Here's an example:

  • Host: This is the subdomain you want to point somewhere, like newsletter in newsletter.nevron.io

  • Record Type: An A record (short for Address record) is used to map a domain or subdomain to an IPv4 address (a numerical address for a server)

  • Value: This is the IP address of the server you want the domain to point to (e.g., 167.89.01.23)

So, if you want newsletter.nevron.io to point to a specific server, your A record would look like this: 


       Host: newsletter | Record Type: A | Value: 167.89.01.23

When someone types newsletter.nevron.io into their browser, the DNS system resolves it by directing them to the server at 167.89.01.23. This process happens almost instantly and ensures users land on the correct destination.

DNS isn't limited to A records—there are other types like CNAME (used for aliases) and MX (used for email servers), but we'll dive into those another time!

Mysteryland Journey Planner - Our New Platform For Event Organizers

We've just launched a new platform for event organizers, and its first project is already live—the Mysteryland Journey Planner! This tool is designed to make life easier for both event attendees and organizers.

For attendees, it simplifies travel planning to the event. Instead of juggling multiple apps and websites, they can plan their entire journey in one place.

For organizers, it provides valuable insights into how attendees are traveling, which can help with everything from traffic management to sustainability efforts.

What Businesses Can Learn from Spammers About Email Management

❝

Here's a surprising fact: spammers are often better at managing their email reputation than legitimate businesses.

They're more consistent at correctly implementing email authentication methods like SPF (Sender Policy Framework), DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail), and DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance).

These authentication methods were designed to prevent spam, but they've become signals that spammers have learned to exploit more effectively than most legitimate senders.

As a result, rejecting emails based solely on authentication failures can sometimes do more harm than good.
