DNS Server (Domain Name System Server)

Server Responses

A Domain Name Server (DNS) is hosted on a server to connect domain names (the URL that people type into search bars) with the IP addresses of the websites in question (such as 353.688.242.177). DNS servers are essential for the fetching of a website from the web server that it’s saved upon.  

When a person types in any URL, the browser being used will contact the Domain Name Server of their Internet Service Provider (ISP) in order to return the correct IP address, which it will then route the web user to, all in fractions of a second.

The noindex meta tag tells search engines not to index the page and show it in search results.
Domain Name Registrars
Domain name registrars work to act as a bridge between the user and the domain name system, which assigns domain names.
301 Redirect
301 redirects are permanent, so they only need to be set up once. They can signal to search engines that a page has been permanently moved or removed, which can help boost website traffic in the process.
