CHAPTER 29. DOT TK: DOMAINS FOR FREE 268
dot.tkprovides three options for DNS. (a) Redirection. (b) Use thedot.tk
DNS system. (c) Provide your own DNS system.
We strongly recommend (c) you provide your own DNS system. This is
already being done for you by your webhosting provider. Use it.
If using your own DNS,
what is the fully-qualified
domain name of your DNS
server?
In this example, I am di-
recting .tk to use my DNS
(is2.byuh.edu) to handle
everything.
You would use (b) if you want to host subdomains of your main domain on
more than one webhosting provider.
If using their DNS, what is
the IP address of your web
server?
In this example, I am di-
recting my .tk domain and
two subdomains to point
to the same IP address
(216.228.254.11).
Redirecting makes your .tk name a shortcut to get to your original website
with its original name.
