What is a Domain Server and DNS2?

The domain server is a term from IT and a part of the Domain Name System (DNS). The DNS is a large database made up of different types of servers.

It is responsible for a specific namespace on the internet and is divided into various zones, each managed by a different administrator.

The domain server is a program for managing domains, meaning it responds to all requests made by a domain. A domain is used to identify a computer on the internet and is a part of a website (the website name with the extension, but without "https://www." at the beginning). Domains are part of the DNS2 structure.

The term "domain server" is highly significant for IT professionals.
It is often used in the context of computers and is essential for building a functional network. On the internet, the domain server ensures that we, as users, don’t have to remember complex IP addresses but can use easily memorable domain names like hosttest.de to access corresponding websites. This primary advantage is thanks to the Domain Name System and domain servers, which were developed as far back as the 1980s.
