A domain name is the name of your website, which people type on their browsers to access your website's data. You store this data on a hosting server that stays on 24/7.
There are different types of hosting services that store your data and display on the internet. In this article we won’t be going too deep into hosting but more into domains and how to find the best domain name for your business. Let’s get to it!

If you want to have a website up on the internet, you must choose and buy a domain name. Once you choose one, you must also pick a top-level domain (i.e. TLD), the part of the domain that comes after the main name. For example, .com, .org, .gov, etc. While most sites on the internet use the .com, it is sometimes a good idea to change that to something that fits your site more. Even though most are available for any person to use, there are some that are reserved for specific uses such as .us domains being reserved for entities located in the United States of America.
One such TLD is .gov....
What is a Blacklist?
Depending on the source, the amount of daily spam emails being sent is anywhere between 80 to 95% of all emails sent on the internet that day. With such large numbers, most experts agree that manually sorting through your inbox to get rid of spam has become highly inefficient. As such, public blacklists of mail servers and IP addresses have been created to prevent repeat offenders from relaying spam.
A blacklist is a list of blocked domains, email addresses or IP addresses. When a website gets on one of these lists, users can no longer access the site directly and...
Domain Name System BackLists (DNSBL) are spam blocking lists that allow system moderators to block messages from specific systems that have a history of sending spam. As the name suggests, these lists are based on the Domain Name System (DNS) which converts numerical IP addresses into domain names. If the maintainer of the DNSBL receives spam from a specific domain name, that server would be blacklisted and all messages sent from it would either be flagged or rejected by any sites that uses the said list.
There are three basic components that make up a DNSBL:

We all use the internet nowadays, meaning that we have used the DNS or Domain Name System without even realizing it. DNS or Domain Name System acts as the phone book of the internet. In short it converts the human readable web addresses (domain name like www.1Gbits.com) to machine readable numbers. (IP address like 87.248.98.7). This system has been used for more than 30 years and is still in use today.
The computers, websites and all the devices connected to the internet have a unique code which is known as the IP address. There are two different types of IP addresses...

What is a DMARC Record and how does it work?
DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance) is an email-authentication protocol. It is designed to give email domain owners the ability to protect their domain from unauthorized use, commonly known as email spoofing. The purpose and primary outcome of implementing DMARC is to protect a domain from being used in business email compromise attacks, phishing emails, email scams and other cyber threat activities.
DMARC allows senders to instruct email...
