linux dns server
how we redirect root domain to another root domain?
Good explanation, thanks for keeping technology simple.
Your explanation is astonishingly simple and concise. Thank you
I've learnt so much from you Tony. U and Jay LaCroix are the most valuable sources of knowledge about networking / linux in the whole YouTube.
bro your intro almost gave me an epileptic shock… geez
quick question Tony.. I recently linked my custom domain to my github pages repo and set my DNS records with CNAME only and I have been waiting for DNS check to complete for 2 days now. Is it okay to only use the CNAME record without the A on my DNS records?
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but is the IP address from the device, or website, or where exactly? My brain is not quite understanding where that number is found… 😢
Tony PLEEAASE! Where did you get that bombay canteen???
very helpful video, thanks brother.
La triple T, que copado
Hi Tony, we want to have the root domain for the normal website and a api. subdomain for the endpoint, but if I use cname it rooting me back to the root domain. How can we configure this for a school project?
The explanation is very clear
thank u!
If a web platform asked me to use ns1.sitename.com and ns2.sitename.com , for custom domain name , I just use NS record for 2 times inside Cloudflare?
I bought the name on google and they need the cname, for gmail, but the cname is nowhere to be found. Im so confused
Hold on, hold on, hold on, what sound effect is playing when the arrows pop up
THIS is exactly what I was looking for! Your explanation about why it's better to use an A record instead of a CNAME is what I was trying to figure out for the last day, since I've read and watched a bunch of tutorials suggesting one method or the other, but never explaining the differences or that you could do either one. Thank you!
Explanation was so clear I could not hit subscribe fast enough
Nice explained, keep up the good work!
Can you change the change or delete the cname using the command nsupdate on a rhel8 server?
if want to understand this in detail what courses should i take
Great tutorial, thanks!
This is great, thank you. Question, If I move my site files to a different host server but keep my emails hosted on a different server, Can I just update the A records IP to the new server hosting the files? I do not want it to impact where my emails are currently hosted. I thought this was correct until I saw this video. I was told changing the CNAME in this case would not work.
Great vid! Very concise and easy to understand.
Very good. You made it simple as others did not.
Hi Tony, I recently transferred my domain that I purchased from NameCheap to Google. (Thanks to your helpful video) However, now I don't know what to do with my DNS. (This is all a new language to me) Now that the transfer is complete I tried to create a webpage in google, but it says, "Can’t connect, domain in use"- and also my domain is "already managed by another service provider. To continue, enter a different subdomain. To use this subdomain, disconnect it and try again." So now I am searching for videos on what to do next, but cant seem to find the answers. Do you happen to have a tutorial on this issue?
Thanks a lot bro very nice video

How would you set up A record or Alias record for a sub domain?
Great video Tony! I had a seizure watching the intro, watching this from the hospital! Very helpful!

nice job
Good job, thank you!
Hi Tony! I'm currently creating a new website for a client who has previously had everything on wordpress. The website has a few subdomains and the client wants to keep those as one of them is for their shop. I'm designing a new website with WIX and was wondering if if i change the cname and A name records for the main domain, will it affect any of the subdomains that they have?
Thanks!
i am Tony TOO 😀😆😂
Great explanation. Thanks!
Hello ~ I am so confused about NS and CNAME as both of them are point to A record. May I know their differences, application and location stored in , such as TLD or authoritative ?
you got +1 sub, you deserve it. Thankyou so much for this video, well explained!
Hi found your video very useful content
Can you do a video on how to point website to one server and email to another server
And maybe, if you have got a little time, You can make a video about DNSSEC DS rekord (inside Cloudflare, Vultr, Linode, WPX, Cloudways, Digital Ocean etc.), and HSTS. DNSSEC is very useful, against dns attacking, like spoofing, hijacking.
This is soo helpful, thank you!
Can you make a video talking about DANE (DNS-based Authentication of Named Entities)????
Finally I understand what does CNAME DNS record mean. Thank You Tony!
