Domains
dAppling has support for both ENS and DNS domains.
Introduction to Domains
A domain is like an easy-to-remember address for a website on the internet, such as dAppling.network.
DNS: The Domain Name System
DNS translates human-friendly domain names to computer-readable IP addresses, a process known as DNS resolution.
The DNS Query Process
Here's how a DNS query unfolds:
User's Request: Enter a domain like
example.dAppling.networkin your browser.Recursive Resolver: If the IP is not cached, the browser queries a recursive resolver.
DNS Server Hierarchy: The resolver consults a series of DNS servers.
IP Address Retrieval: The authoritative nameserver provides the IP address.
DNS Network Hierarchy
DNS is structured hierarchically with root, TLD, and authoritative nameservers.
Efficiency in DNS Queries
DNS queries are optimized for speed, with caching mechanisms in browsers and resolvers.
