Honestly, I guess it's a fine article for someone who isn't very technical, but it provides very little real detail, and this wasn't an example of DNS breaking anything - it worked as designed.

The biggest pain of DNS for most people is if someone has set the TTL to an absurdly large number, or if a resolver isn't respecting TTL. And once you get into advanced configurations, SOAs and delegation certainly create their own headaches!

This might be the easiest-to-understand breakdown of DNS that I've seen to date. I've owned a domain since the late 90s, but never really understood everything the acronyms or concepts involved in making it work. Well done!

Thanks! That was exactly what I was going for - making DNS approachable for everyone, not just sysadmins. Glad it helped!

Namasté. First blog post I’ve read from Nepal, very well done.

One nitpick I had was that the subdomain examples are more likely to be hosts. They could be either, but was not mentioned. Perhaps I missed.

Well written! Is so easy to understand and read that I can easily share it even with non-tech people c:

Appreciate it! That's the goal - tech concepts shouldn't need a CS degree to understand.
