The Domain Name System (DNS) is the connective tissue of the web. While many web developers have learned some things about how DNS works through trial and error, there are finer points that can easily be missed.

What is the difference between a CNAME, an A record and a TXT record?
How do MX Records work?
What if my client has a mail server but I want to host the site on my server?
How can I launch a site before the domain name propagates?

In this webinar, Nathan will explain the basics of DNS and suggest some best practices that will be practical and helpful for most web developers.
