Casper Posted April 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 The Domain Name System distributes the responsibility for assigning domain names and mapping them to IP networks by allowing an authoritative server for each domain to keep track of its own changes, avoiding the need for a central registrar to be continually consulted and updated.Google-whore.

Casper Posted April 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Easier explanation:A DNS server is like a phone book. You give it a name, it looks up the number. When you type "www.ohioriders.net" it doesn't just magically load the page. Your computer contacts a DNS server. The server says "hey fool, www.ohioriders.net points to IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx". And your computer connects to the IP. Kinda cools actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaNick Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Yep, just like we can type numbers in the address bar instead of ohio-riders and it will STILL bring us here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casper Posted April 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 To put the difference into perspective for ya, here are the server loads:Before: 19.23 22.45 41.57 | 16 Users Online (11 members and 5 guests)After: 0.01 0.01 0.00 | 23 Users Online (15 members and 8 guests)Server loads of less than 4.00 are good. Anything over, bad. Wow is the understatement of the century. So to conclude, it isn't the software or the database. It was Godaddy's shitty hosting. Don't use Godaddy.

shittygsxr Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Ok I am going to start a web site called www.flounderwhoreshispicksofhisraceplasticsallovertheinternet.com I decided after finding his pics on more than one website that the whole world needed to see the picks. I expect to get more hits than google so I guess I will need like a thousand servers to start. Who should I use for hosting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
