”Reverse DNS” is one of those obscure things that you only seem to learn about when you become a pro at managing your website.
First you learn about web hosting and why it’s impossible to start a website without it, then you learn the importance of backing up your website so that all your hard work doesn’t vanish overnight, and then years later, when you’ve been successfully managing your website for a while, you somehow encounter the term “Reverse DNS”, and a whole new world of possibilities opens up for you.
Well, today, we’re giving your internet knowledgebase a massive boost. We’re diving right into DNS.
