Everything about DNS you never dared to ask!
summary
Covers how domain registration works end to end: registrant → registrar → registry using EPP (XML) commands for domains hosts contacts, how ICANN charges roughly $190k plus $50k deposit to run a new gTLD, and the practical domain-transfer flow: auth code, FOA to registrant/admin, a 7‑day idle window before completion. Explains DNS basics (UDP by default, ~52 RFCs since 1983), the 13 root server letters distribution, and a zero‑downtime transfer recipe: change nameservers to new host first, verify, then transfer.
