\"How<\/p>\n

In the following tutorial, we’re going to go through the process of installing and configuring a simple DNS (BIND) server on your Debian 9 VPS<\/a>. This will allow you to host\/manage the DNS records for your domain\/s.<\/p>\n

Before we proceed with the setup process, let’s first talk about what the Domain Name System (DNS) is, as well as what a DNS server is.\"Installing<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Domain Name System (DNS)\u00a0is technology that resolves the domain names\/hostnames to IP addresses so that we can easily access the services using domain names instead of using IP addresses. For example, if you wanted to visit a website through its IP address, you\u2019d have to enter a specific IP in the web browser’s address bar. But with the DNS, you can simply type “your_domain.com” to get there much more quickly. It\u2019s easier to remember, and it\u2019s more user-friendly. That\u2019s why people consider the DNS as \u201cthe phonebook of the Internet\u201d. Nobody wants to remember an IP, but everyone can and does remember a domain name. A Domain Name System uses DNS servers for its functionality, so a DNS server is any authoritative DNS host registered to join the Domain Name System (DNS).
