Service DNS.
According to a DNS specification, all Internet virtual space is divided into domains - logical
zones controlled by one or several special computers. The largest units of DNS are called first-
level domains that cover the global Internet sections on the following grounds: .com, .biz -
commercial enterprises; .net - originally assigned to organizations responsible for supporting
the Internet, are now also used for commercial business entities; .edu - educational
institutions; .org - non-profit and public organizations; .gov - government agencies; .mil -
military establishments; .int - international organizations that are established on the basis
of
contracts or are a part of the Internet infrastructure; .name - individuals; .info - is
not limited;
.kz, .ru and others - abbreviations for countries, adopted by the committee on ISO standards.
The lower level in the DNS hierarchy is the
second-level domains, which directly depend on
the first-level domain. Second-level domains belong to municipal or commercial organizations
(for example, webnavigator.kz.). A second-level domain can contain only 22 characters
(letters, numbers and dashes). You cannot register an existing domain name.
There are also third-level domains that are part of the parent domain (for example, the
conditional domain vasia.webnavigator.kz, petia.webnavigator. kz, nina.webnavigator.kz).
Domains of
the 4-level are built on the same principle as
the third-level domains, only the
name is even longer. For example, video.vasia. webnavigator.kz, and so on. The domain www
is often used to point to a website. Usually such a
domain is a third-level domain .
