A host name is a name given to a computer, or host, to make connecting to it easier. Instead of typing a long IP address, you can enter the host name followed by the domain name, such as myhost name.no-ip.com. Host names are recorded in DNS through the creation of an A record that maps the host name to an IP address. A DNS zone consists of a collection of connected nodes served by an authoritative DNS name server. A zone can be a single domain namespace such as badgerironman.com, or it could be multiple domains in a contiguous namespace.

DNS is supported on the Internet by thousands of ____ that maintain all the records necessary for name resolution.
