CNames in DNS - What are... 

Yes your RU-vid Channel is truly back with the videos that we all miss!! Although I know this information, I still enjoy watching the videos!

That was crystal clear unlike other people on RU-vid overloading with the unnecessary technical details without actual getting close to the point. Thank you sir.

You are just wonderful in explaining things, i always look up to your videos for any complex topics ! Thanks a million Elli :)

Great video! Thanks for clarifying CNames for me and the other laziest around here😅 Jokes besides I researched it 3 times so far in different occasions but couldn't get it to stick into my head. Your way of putting it was really simple, clean and explanatory

You need more visualizations & Examples in your videos, for a visual learner its hard to hold focus on your points.

This video is so good, you are so clairvoyant and deliver eloquently, thank you, your delivery of this information is soo much better than reading a website....

Thanks Mr. Eli for the clarification! I am currently studying for A+ and laerning the level1/2 helpdesk role and this really helped clear some things up.

At first, I thought it was a 5-hour video to explain a 5-minute concept. Some of the others are. But it was a pleasant surprise. Thanks Eli.

I love these new videos Eli, could you also talk about DNSSEC, DMARC and DNS over TLS ? Keep up the great work!

You explain things very well. Thank you so much.

You sir have explained it best of the other videos on this I have seen.

Excellent information. Thank you!

Thank you for answering my question in a simple and quick answer.

Very specific, very clear and deserve subscribe and like! Thank you

I'm in love with you, you rock! You explained it so eloquently. Truly appreciate the examples because I learn better with examples. It really helped me understand. Thank you for making this video.

This straight to the point no BS video got you a subscribe and like thank you

learned allot, appreciate this

thanks for the explanation

He finally back!

G'day Eli. Clearly you know what you're talking about but that was as clear as mud to someone who wanted to know what a cname record is. If your pupil doesn't know what a cname record is what's the point explaining it with terminology and concepts that are as complex or even more so than what I wanted to learn from your video initially. Now I have to go watch 10 other videos to understand this video so I can solve my original problem. If you're going to teach basic concepts, keep it BASIC dude... Short, to-the-point, basic explanation is all I needed...

Loved this explanation, thanks! I just wish it had some small visual elements in one side of the screen, that would help to visualize better, but just a feedback. Thanks!

very good to know, thanks

Tks a lot man!!!

more videos like this plz!

Thanks! 👍👍👍👍

Thanks!

thank you

Nice one Eli. I wonder if you might do one that explains WHERE you set records. Now before you think that's simple to answer, let me explain further: When you rent a dedicated server...in my case from Kimsufi/OVH, you get a server with ip address. You also get a control panel that allows you to install whatever OS yo want, restart the server, etc. This is a control panel only for such purposes, not a control panel ON the server, but For the server. In that control panel, you can set your hostname, which needs to also be set up at your domain name provider, now what records do you set and WHERE if you install a hosting control panel such as Kloxo, or any of them really. At the server, at the domain name provider or at the Kimsufi/OVH control panel? Your thoughts would be interesting, thanks. ps: If you have any experience with setting up the KloxoMR hosting control panel, that would be phenomenal as no one seems to have any admin manual for it.

Done thanks

Nice video. But a picture is worth a thousand words :)

thanks!

I like the background, it looks like news anchar

So can subdomain point to same domain right?

Thanks! So is the Cname always masked? For example my url is app.bla.com but I ask my app customer to point a Cname to my app subdomain as follows: bla that points bla.mycustomer.com to app.bla.com ... This allows my customer to keep their big company site appearing like they host everything themselves but really they are pointing to my app SaaS named app.bla.com ... QUESTION - Will their name always appear masked, or when the redirection occurs, does my true subdomain appear? Thanks

more tech videos please!

Always put a dot at the end of the cname record when pointing to a 3rd party server. MX records too.

please can you explain this scenario for me? i have this two subdomains: sms.ugarsoft.com and sms.ifihear.com both are pointed to a single ip. they show the same content, but each admin login and can modify the logo(cms). I want to understand what is happening at the ip location how it handles the two domain at the server. I want to set up a service like that.

how is it different from a redirect?

It would be better if you can present examples like how those things are actually being done, hopefully!

TXT SPF next please!

ELi please explain - DMARC, SPF, DNSSEC

The real question is, what is going on with Tasmania in your map?! :p Maybe time to consider moving to GPS... a touch more accurate.

wrr

OMG I can NOT find a damned video on how to create CNAME... I'm losing my shit here lol

Why do you sound exactly like Sal from Khan Academy? 😂

Could have been much better if you actually did it and show.

makes little sense

better if you actually showed it
