To use, access, fulfill, and utilize web resources, domain name is an essential part of internet for human being to recognize the objects on the internet. {{:manual:sticker_7_.png?nolink|}} ---- ==== Purchase domain name(s) ==== * [[https://domains.google|Google Domains]] --- Google Domains, **NOT** attractive in price. Better choice to use Google DNS services * [[https://godaddy.com|GoDadday]] --- Supports various and unique ''.domains'' Hugh amount of domain registrars are listed and take one with your strategy including pricing and service quality. Initial price for the first year is low to attract customer. Renewal price every year should be considered for further maintenance. Once taking final registar for your own domain name(s), ''Sign Up'', ''Search'', ''Select'' and ''Purchase'' Then you have the right to utilize domain(s) --- You are the ''OWNER'' of domain(s). * [[http://www.freenom.com|Freenom - A name for everyone]] --- Free of charge for ''.tk'', ''.ml'', ''.ga'', ''.cf'', ''.gq'' Prices could be charged for short or popular names. It's recommended to experience configuring domains. {{fa>info?2x&color=#3b5998}} Assumed ''**myowndomain.com**'' as purchased domain for current manual. ---- ==== Domain Name Server(s) ==== ''**Domain Name Server**'' is a directory book of internet. All web resources connected internet have IP address like ''185.11.124.122'' consisted of four numbers. But human beings have rare ability to recognize those kinds of numbers. DNS is a directory book mapping domain name(s) and IP address(es) and it returns the value of IP address for mapped domain name. === DNS services === * [[https://cloudflare.com|Cloudflare]] --- Free / Premium service ((''.tk'', ''.ml'', ''.ga'', ''.cf'', ''.gq'' are ''**not**'' accepted)) {{fa>thumbs-up?color=#be0027}} * [[https://dns.he.net|Hurricane Electric]] --- Free service ((''.tk'', ''.ml'', ''.ga'', ''.cf'', ''.gq'' are ''**accepted**'')) * [[https://freedns.afraid.org|Free DNS]] --- Free / Premium service / Donation, operated by ''Joshua Anderson'' ((''.tk'', ''.ml'', ''.ga'', ''.cf'', ''.gq'' are ''**accepted**'')) * [[https://dnszi.com|DNSZi]] --- Free service / operated by ''PHP School'' ((''.tk'', ''.ml'', ''.ga'', ''.cf'', ''.gq'' are ''**not**'' accepted)) {{flag>kr}} * [[https://www.cloudns.net|ClouDNS]] --- Free (3 zones) / Paid service ((''.tk'', ''.ml'', ''.ga'', ''.cf'', ''.gq'' are ''**accepted**'')) , Supports URL fowrwarding * [[https://www.1984.is/product/freedns/|1984 FreeDNS]] --- Free / Paid service ((''.tk'', ''.ml'', ''.ga'', ''.cf'', ''.gq'' are ''**accepted**'')) , Iceland based service. Supports URL forwarding {{fa>bookmark?color=#cf8d2e}} Domain registrars such as Google Domains and GoDaddy provide DNS services inherently. Also setting up the ''external DNS'' is optional. === External DNS values === Set ''nameservers'' in ''**Domain registrar**'' with ''external DNS'' option. * Cloudflare * NAMESERVERS : ''Shown in Cloudflare page'' (2 servers usually) * Hurricane Electric * NAMESERVER 1 : ''NS1.HE.NET'' * NAMESERVER 2 : ''NS2.HE.NET'' * NAMESERVER 3 : ''NS3.HE.NET'' * NAMESERVER 4 : ''NS4.HE.NET'' * NAMESERVER 5 : ''NS5.HE.NET'' * Free DNS (afraid.org) * NAMESERVER 1 : ''NS1.AFRAID.ORG'' * NAMESERVER 2 : ''NS2.AFRAID.ORG'' * NAMESERVER 3 : ''NS3.AFRAID.ORG'' * NAMESERVER 4 : ''NS4.AFRAID.ORG'' * DNSZi * NAMESERVERS : ''Shown in DNSZi page'' (5 servers usually) * ClouDNS : ''Shown in ClouDNS page'' (dual servers) {{fa>bookmark?color=#cf8d2e}} [[https://www.ultratools.com/tools/dnsHostingSpeed|Check DNS hosting speed]] ---- ==== Things with holding domains ==== {{fa>check?color=#721121}} URL for your homepage, blog and so on --- ''**wishtohavemyowndomain**.blogspot.com'' to ''**blog.myowndomain.com**'' {{fa>check?color=#A5402D}} email address with your domain name --- ''**wishtohavemyowndomain**@gmail.com'' to ''**me@myowndomain.com**'' {{fa>check?color=#F15156}} URL shorten with your domain name --- Shortened URL like ''bit.ly/sk2djw4'' or ''goo.gl/1gk3g39'' to ''**myowndomain.com/w3g3fgl**'' {{fa>check?color=#FFC07F}} Web forwarding with your domain name ((This feature is available depending on DNS services.)) --- Intangible URL like ''onedrive.live.com/?authkey=%21AO1rY..168C1B78%2123094&cid=D3...168C1B78'' to ''**public.myowndomain.com**'' {{fa>check?color=#FFCF99}} Whatever you want ... ---- ==== Mapping web resources ==== === A AAAA records === Primary function of DNS is pointing IP address for domain name. * A ''**home**.myowndomain.com'' ''192.230.64.122'' --- If you type ''home.myowndomain.com'' as address in browsers, you can reach the machine whose IP address is 192.230.64.122. * AAAA is for ''IPv6'' protocol --- A (AAAA) records can be used not only ''Public IP'' but also ''Private IP'' such as ''192.168.0.10''. === CNAME records === CNAME is alias name mapping with another domain name. * CNAME ''**casa**.myowndomain.com'' ''home.myowndomain.com'' --- ''casa.myowndomain.com'' is pointing to same IP address with ''home.myowndomain.com''. It also uses for hosting configuration such as blogger and so on. ---- ==== Configuring email service ==== As a experimental aspect, running an email server is suggested, But not recommend for real usage. Therefore, email hosting service is necessary to have custom domain email. === Email with custom domain === Suggest email hosting services (only with personal opinion) * [[https://gsuite.google.com|Google G Suite]] --- reliable and fast but only Paid service currently * [[https://www.zoho.com/mail/|Zoho Email]] --- Free / Premium and reliable, intuitive interface {{fa>thumbs-up?color=#BB0000}} * [[https://www.migadu.com|Migadu Email]] --- 🇨🇭 Swiss Made / Free / support multi domains in a single account {{fa>thumbs-up?color=#BB0000}} * [[https://domain.yandex.com/domains_add/|Yandex.Mail]] --- Free / Premium, reliable but Sometimes 🇷🇺Russian pops up * [[http://mail.daum.net/hanmailex/domain.html|Daum Smartwork]] --- Free (restricted) and simple, Korean 🇰🇷 If you want forwarding all email for your domain. * [[https://improvmx.com/|ImprovMX]] --- ''myself@myowndomain.com'', ''wife@myowndomain.com'' all email sending to ''@myowndomain.com'' will be forwarding to desired email address. === MX records === ''MX record'' assigns delivery point for email. MX records is only for mail delivery. Not necessary being identical with ''A record'' Setup for MX will provided by email hosting services. * [[https://www.zoho.com/mail/help/adminconsole/configure-email-delivery.html|MX records for Zoho]] * [[https://support.google.com/a/answer/140034?hl=en|MX records for Google G Suite]] * [[https://yandex.com/support/domain/set-mail/mx.html|MX records for Yandex.Mail]] * Daum Smartwork * MX ''ASPMX.daum.net.'' 10 * MX ''ALT.ASPMX.daum.net.'' 20 === SPF / DKIM records === --- Check email hosting provides proper ways to protect email validation and prevent the non-authorized from abusing. **''SPF''** Sender Policy Framework (SPF) is a simple email-validation system designed to detect email spoofing by providing a mechanism to allow receiving mail exchangers to check that incoming mail from a domain comes from a host authorized by that domain's administrators. **''DKIM''** DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) allows senders to associate a domain name with an email message, thus vouching for its authenticity. (Optional) **''DMARC''** Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting and Conformance (DMARC) is an email-validation system designed to detect and prevent email spoofing. ---- ==== Shortening with custom domain ==== Shortening URL is useful to share an URL/URI, which are usually long strings. === Service Providers === * [[https://bit.ly|Bit.ly]] --- Reliable and popular, 1 brand name (custom domain) for free account * [[https://www.rebrandly.com/|Rebrandly]] --- 5 brand name for free account ((''.tk'', ''.ml'', ''.ga'', ''.cf'', ''.gq'' are ''**not**'' accepted)) * [[https://kutt.it/|Kutt]] --- support one custom domain === Practical usages === * Simple shortening * Shorten your long address (URL) into short link such as ''bit.ly/dk3dle3''. Here, you can use your own domain to shorten your URL ''myowndomain.com/dk3dle3''. * URL memorable * Like bookmarks, you can shorten with memorable address. For instance, ''myowndomain.com/**subtitle**'' can be shorten address for downloading subtitle. Customize ''slash-tag'' to memorize easily. * Sharing with authentication code * Sharing file or folder throughout cloud services, sharing address is too long and contains authentication key in URL. Shorten service can make a simple address including authentication key. e.g.) ''onedrive.live.com/?**authkey**=**%21AO1rY..168C1B78%2123094**&cid=D3...168C1B78'' into ''myowndomain.com/**myspecialsharing**'' * Statistical analysis * Once you share with shorten URL, service provides ''statistical analysis'' such as counts, regions and son on. For Bit.ly service, ''myowndomain.com/dk3dle3**+**'' shows the statistical analysis for ''myowndomain.com/dk3dle3'' URL. ---- ==== Web forwarding with subdomains ==== A, (AAAA), CNAME records are pointing to the IP address eventually. If your DNS service has ''web forwarding'' features, you can use subdomain such as ''**share.**myowndomain.com'' for forwarding. * Google Domains ''Subdomain forward'' * ''donate.myowndomain.com'' → ''paypal.me/JUNEPARK'' * ''**mysharing**.myowndomain.com'' → ''onedrive.live.com/?**authkey**=**%21AO1rY..168C1B78%2123094**&cid=D3...168C1B78'' * Cloudflare ™ ''Page Rules'' ((3 rules are available for free account)) * ''read.myowndomain.com/*'' → ''mail.google.com/mail/?authuser=$1#search/label%3aunread'' * Forwarding rule uses wildcards (**''*''**, **''$1''**), ''read.myowndomain.com/**myownid@gmail.com**'' is forwarding to ''mail.google.com/mail/?authuser=**myownid@gmail.com**#search/label%3aunread'', which shows the unread mail of ''myownid@gmail.com''. * Free DNS by afraid.org ''Web Forward'' * ''Cloak'', hides original URL and shows only forwarding URL. * ''Force Dir Root'', ignores URI path. {{fa>bookmark?color=#cf8d2e}} Forwarding functions are different depending on the services. ---- ==== Dynamic DNS ==== ''**Dynamic DNS**'' is a method of automatically updating a name server in the Domain Name System, often in real time. {{fa>cog?color=#AA0000}} [[:debian_common#configure_dynamic_dns|Configure Dynamic DNS]] {{fa>cog?color=#0000AA}} Major router manufacturers provide Dynamic DNS option with their own server * ipTIME --- ''**username**.iptime.org'' configured in router settings, major manufacturer in Korea 🇰🇷 * D-Link --- ''**username**.dlinkddns.com'' * [[https://no-ip.com|No-IP]]: Dynamic DNS service commonly used --- 3 dynamic DNS for free account with periodic confirmation ---- manual/domain_works Last modified: 2020/02/14 09:29by Júne Park
