DNS Registrar - What is...

A DNS Registrar is authorized by ICANN to sell domain names. They essentially do the admin work required for the Domain Name System. Registrars have become important because they are private companies and they have started to become more political in their policies for maintaining clients for DNS services.

these videos are great. When you are not going off your rocker with those rants in the past; you are quite enjoyable to watch. I hope we continue to get more of these kinds of vids.

[@UncommonShapes]

When I type in “what is a DNS?” this is exactly the quality of video I like to find. It’s very thorough, well stated, and easy to follow. Thank you.

[@ZorbaPress]

Eli, you not only have vast knowledge, you also have the rare gift of making complicated things much easier to understand. Thanks so much !

[@thedeserteagle9059]

Eli is back in action!

[@RicardoMalla]

I said the same thing. Happy we got old Eli back!!!

[@emanueldebresser3208]

@@RicardoMalla yes finnally ! He finally speaks about networks and systems again! xD hurra ! And about free speech aswell !

[@SuperWombus]

Eli, awesome video; so happy you’re starting these informational videos again 👍

[@htwarrior6801]

Just made a domain name transfer last week and having to deal with these terms as of late. Great explanation. Top notch, as always. 👌🏼

[@nobbymgeorge3490]

Hello Sir, i was not fine today due to some reasons , but when i saw you back again today , i became very happy that today is one of the good day in my life . Thanks

[@RWaightSmith]

Hi Eli, so glad to listen to someone who is understandable. I am the Editor for an organization that pays for a .org website on Wix. Are we also required to pay our annual bill to "Domain Registry"? We already pay Wix. Why would we also need to pay Domain Registry?

[@unknownhektorathug7293]

best admin teacher in the world, I became tech team leader with your videos. so great you brought them back

[@OxygenBeats]

wow, this was 10000x more useful than any other videos i tried looking up on this subject. THANK YOU.

[@jasonlisonbee]

A possible solution to DNS attacks is to 1) Don't permit use of short DNS ttl. 2) Enable transferring the entire or subscribed sections of the master DB and then hourly or daily updates as diff files with strong verification of integrity. Blacklisted domains can be excluded by the master or lists of them used to purge from your DB, so you only need to use the DB as a whitelist and block everything not in it; other than local authorized domains recorded in a separate list. 3) If you want to use DNS for load balancing, let the client have all of your DNS records simultaneously and probe the nearest two or three to decide which to connect to.

[@thefintechking]

Wonderful explanation. Thank you for taking the time to create this!!!

[@hs-lb1493]

i was looking for these answers for years man u satisfy my brain tnx a lot

[@sa_ad]

same lol

[@luciandanielgaitanaru7565]

Hi, the only and extremely accurate explanation on this topic that I could find in the last weeks. could you also go more deeply in scenario 3? where wec an use our own DCs and not NS hosted by some 3rd party sites? It would be great and thanks in advance. Else, keep up the good work :)

[@hulkito852]

Great video Eli! Thanks for the info 🙏🏼

[@Neil3D]

I wonder if these are tests, in the face of tons of people complaining about there being no IT content, I wonder if these will be monitored closely with a view to saying "see, I was right, they got no views, you people don't want IT videos, there's no demand for these and this is the proof"

[@bas3q]

He's trying to find content that works (ie, content that people want to watch and gets him paid). Sure, if these videos don't work, it will be more evidence that people don't really want useful tech content, but he isn't doing this series for that reason. Dude's just trying to run a business.

[@Neil3D]

@@bas3q Hmm something's happened. If I'd spent the last 2 years making videos saying I'm bored of computer aided design, it's dead, I don't care about it, but then suddenly I delete the last 2 years and go back like nothing changed, something would have had to happen to cause that. But it's none of my business, just saying, but I bet something happens soon to make sense of this massive U-turn.

Excellent! best teacher in the world!

Can someone explain to me how this guy has nearly 1 mil subscribers but is getting less than 10k on his videos?

Nice lecture mate. Well done.

thank you for your work☺

[@santoshpss]

The ad that came with this video was inappropriate for children. I don’t know what would I have done if my kids saw the ad... 😨😰😥😓😱

[@newlife4231]

I saw nothing inappropriate now, but I find your comment interesting given that 2 yrs ago (when your comment was written), I looked at the ICANN website and it loaded with ‘I CAN’T,’ seemingly mocking ICANN - very unsettling. :(

[@renethomas1526]

Great info!!!

[@logangraham2956]

so , couldn't i just host my own hostname registrar system? it doesn't seem right to have to be reliant on another entity to hold your domain name for you. i think it should be possibly to hold your own domain name as well but under certain circumstances. the tor network seems to get away with this just fine with .onion address but normal web browsers can not access .onion addresses . and if we are comparing this to water then. i can poke a hole in the ground and probably get better water then what you can get from city taps. with all their chemicals and what not being pumped into the water. so using that same logic . i should be able to poke a hole in the internet and pull out some domain name.
