Greatest hits: inventing the DNS - DNW Podcast #537

from Domain Name Wire Podcast · host Andrew Alleman, Paul Mockapetris

One of my favorite interviews on the Domain Name Wire Podcast was from 2016, when I interviewed DNS inventor Paul Mockapetris. On today's show I'm replaying that interview. You'll hear about the early days of the DNS, including why it was created. Paul also confirmed that some people thought .com would be a failure as a top level domain. Also: Atom becomes a registrar, new domain keyword data, and more. Sponsor: Sav.com domain auctions
