DNS Overview

KakaoCloud's Domain Name System (DNS) service manages mapping information that converts human-readable domain names into machine-readable IP addresses, enabling communication between computers. Users can create DNS zones and DNS records without the need to manage a separate DNS server. Based on this information, the DNS service controls which server users are connected to.

Use cases and examples​

With KakaoCloud DNS, users can easily create DNS zones and records without worrying about DNS server management.

  • Domain hosting mapped to a public IP address: After setting up name servers for a domain purchased from a domain registrar, users can create DNS zones with KakaoCloud DNS to ensure that the domain responds with the actual IP address of the computer hosting the site.
