dns - Trying to understand FQDN's -
i struggling understand fqdn servers.
at moment mine localhost if type hostname in server terminal says localhost.
i understand need different 1 if want set cpanel, or postfix or really.
as know comprised of 2 parts:
hostname.domainname
can domain name made up, or have 1 of domains set use on server?
and host name can anything, or has servername? , have set sub domain of domain?
i hope understand issues.
thanks
try typing
hostname --fqdn
fqdn means qualified domain name, composed of 2 parts:
- your hostname
- the domain name hostname located.
it can easy mycomputername.myfamilydomainname.tld, or complex cor-th3-1.par.fr.eu.mynetwork.net.
all of can technically made up, though, if use example, google.com local domain, local resolver may use info , believe you're in google.com dns zone, may have problems resolving entries in google.com dns zone.
