The Domain Name System (DNS) is the post office of the internet. It's a fundamental component that translates human-friendly domain names (like nytimes.com) into machine-friendly Internet Protocol (IP) addresses (like 192.168.1.1). This system is crucial because it bridges the gap between the way humans and computers locate web resources. Let's dive deeper into DNS, how it functions, and its integral role in our online experiences.

In the dynamic world of the internet, websites frequently change their IP addresses for various reasons. While this is a standard part of web maintenance, it can lead to connectivity issues.

As the digital landscape continues to expand, organizations face increasing challenges with cybersecurity. Websites are particularly vulnerable, with cross-site scripting (XSS) the most common issue discovered by bug bounty hunters in 2022—up 32% from the previous year.

Web automation consists of setting up test scripts to carry out tasks automatically on the web. These tasks include things like navigating web pages, clicking links and buttons, filling out forms, and more. It has a lot of useful purposes, like automatically populating forms with data entry, or testing websites to make sure that they are working correctly. 

Several tools and programming languages exist for the purpose of automating web tasks, and that is what we will be getting into in this article.

Data is the lifeblood of your business. Every single day, you collect, generate, track, and analyze enormous amounts of data. In fact, the world generates a staggering 3.5 quintillion bytes of data every day (if you don’t know, a quintillion is a 1 followed by 18 zeros). That data comes in many different types, but you can use much of it to inform business decisions and to help your company grow and thrive. 

There are many reasons why your business might operate multiple websites. Perhaps you want different sites for some of your main markets, in the same way as eBay and Amazon do.

Who doesn’t have remote employees now? Did you onboard anyone in Covid who has never met anyone else in person in your company? Remote workers can’t just walk down the office hall to Bob’s desk and ask “How am I supposed to do W?”, “Where do I find X?”, “Who is the best person to ask about Y?” Bob, the knowledge expert at your company, might be a teleworker and those that are physically in the office might not know that he is the physical manifestation of your company’s Google search engine. Hence, having an intranet, or HR Hub, has become a vital resource in these post-covid days so that your employees across different departments can gain access to applications, official documents, and essential information no matter where they are.
