DNS translates human-readable domain names into IP addresses through a hierarchical system. Key DNS record types include A/AAAA (IP mapping), CNAME (hostname aliasing), MX (mail servers), TXT (verification), and NS (name servers). The DNS resolution process starts at registrars, flows through name servers, and involves multiple layers of caching. Neeto products simplify custom domain setup by providing registrar-specific instructions, validating DNS records using nslookup, and automating SSL certificate generation via Let's Encrypt. The infrastructure uses Traefik as a reverse proxy and Cloudflare for DDoS protection and traffic management.
