Inventing the DNS – DNW Podcast #537: Greatest hits

A flashback to the invention of the DNS.

DNW Podcast 537

One of my favorite interviews on the Reglike Podcast was from 2016, when I interviewed DNS inventor Paul Mockapetris.

On today’s show, I’m replaying that interview. You’ll hear regarding the early days of the DNS, counting 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, fresh domain keyword data, and more.
