How does the net work?
I am working with someone that is setting up a domain and they asked me how it worked.. I am not an expert on this.. but I will give you what I believe happens..
your register a domain.. when you register it you give it a name server.. when someone types in the domain it goes to a computer on the net that gives it directions.. to that name server.. when it gets to that name server the name server says ok this is where the domain name is on what box.. it can even be be the same box as the name server.. how does the name server know where it is? It is set up by your host or if you run you own box it is set up by you.. Sounds pretty simple.. there is alot more to it but that should give you the general idea..
