(Domain Name Resolver) - The only real way of connecting to other sites on the internet is to use IP Addresses. Since these numbers are hard for us to remember, domain addresses were invented. A DNR simply takes a domain address, and converts it into it's corresponding IP Address. (i.e. The domain address for this site is WWW.ARCD.COM, but it's IP address is 199.120.150.1. Whenever you enter WWW.ARCD.COM into a program, it gets automatically converted, by the DNR, to 199.120.150.1).

Domain Name Registration. Before you can use a custom domain name for your company, you must first register your name. You may access www.internic.net for a list of certified domain name registrars.
