Casual Articles - How Domain Names Work
Most people hear about March madness because it is such a big part of sports. March madness is the time when high school and college basketball tournaments take place all around the country. That is madness, but only for basketball fans. The real madness is in December when people are hunting for Christmas gifts.December is a busy year for retailers and e-tailers. Retail stores are packed with visitors, hours ar
So how does that happen? Let's use an analogy. How that spreads is similar to how the flu spreads. If you were spreading the flu on purpose, that is. Let's say you had the flu, and wanted to spread it to as many people as possible, but could only infect one person at a time. The key, then, would be getting those people to then also infect
Q: I have outgrown my home office and need to find office space for me and two part time employees. I am really excited about opening my first official office, but never having rented commercial space before I don't know anything about how this process works. What are some things I should consider before signing a lease? I'm really eager to get started! -- Jay P.A: Congratulations on the growth of yo
Keep in mind, this explanation will be just a bit simplified, to make it easier to understand. I don't like filling my explanations to clients with technical jargon, so I'm going to attempt to avoid that here.
The first thing to understand is this. Web hosting (or web space) is completely different from your domain name. Where your website's files actually sit has nothing to do with what your site is called. In fact, you can even purchase your domain name from one company and your web hosting from another. Many people do.
So how, when someone goes to your web address, does it know where your web hosting is? Each web host actually has a numerical address. Let's say your web site is at www.yourcompany.com, and your actual web hosting address is 216.60.153.87. How does my computer know that by typing in www.yourcompany.com, it should actually go to 216.60.153.87?
It doesn't. Instead, it asks my Internet service provider (Cox, AOL, SBC, etc.). Each Internet service provider has all that information stored. So my computer sends my ISP the web address, www.yourcompany.com, and my ISP actually looks that up at 216.60.153.87.
Hopefully that clears up a little bit the association between the domain name (www.yourcompany.com) and what is referred to as the IP address (or name server) of your web host (216.60.153.87). Now, let's move on to why it takes up to 48 hours to update those records.
Let's say you buy a new domain name through Go Daddy. For every domain name someone buys through them, Go Daddy has their domain name and actual numerical address stored. That's thousands of domain names. But when you buy a new domain from them, at the beginning, they're the only ones who have that information. They then have to get that information out to the rest of the Internet.

I have a tip for ya'll that I have personally learned myself. Always look for something unique to affiliate with, or to run a business on. Before you jump into something do a google search on the subject of it, and see how many you are competing with. Once you do that ask yourself if you can truely take on all those sites, and succeed above them? Also remember just because something is popular, and is selling and such

U.S.P., in marketing, is the acronym for unique selling proposition. This is asking, "What distinguishes you from similar products or services, even businesses as a whole?"After using the USP method to uncover the uniqueness of my products and services, I continued to find them difficult to name. Because of this, I developed a list of 50 easy-to- answer questions to help me get through the process quickly

Let's say you had the flu, and wanted to spread it to as many people as possible, but could only infect one person at a time. The key, then, would be getting those people to then also infect others.
That's how the spread of your domain name works. Go Daddy (or whoever), regularly contacts other computers out on the Internet and passes on this information. Then those computers do the same. However, one computer might send out this information every hour, another every six hours, another every fifteen minutes. The schedule of each computer is not the same.
So 48 hours is the maximum amount of time, the experts agree, that it will take the information about your domain name to spread to all those computers (called domain name servers, or name servers for short). The technical term for this, if you're interested in knowing, is propagation. 48 hours is the maximum amount of time it takes your domain record to propagate to all the domain name servers on the Internet.
As complicated as this sounds, I've actually simplified it quite a bit. But the essential concept is there.
