Please help me out I am a newbie..
Short answer, Yes!
Assuming you have access to the DNS settings and can add the appropriate A record or CNAME to point to dipendra.webdevelopernepal.net

There are so many top level domains these days, like .xxx, .club and so on.
How do I check if some domain's top-level domain is correct and exists?
For example, mydomain.xyz. I can cut off mydomain. and check the rule against xyz. Should I get a full list somewhere? I suppose it's not 100% guaranteed as the list can grow over time?
Or may be I should use some remote API for this?
I found this one http://data.iana.org/TLD/tlds-alpha-by-domain.txt and it seems to be the one that I hope is updated regularly. Is it a good enough source?
Please advise.
If you want to check a given string to see if there is a currently existing TLD with that name, you can send an NS query for the name to the root servers and see if they give you a sensible answer. If they do, the TLD exists. If they do not, it does not exist.
If you want a list of all currently existing TLDs, the URL you give in your question is indeed the correct place to get one. As the first line in the file indicates, it does get updated regularly.
Let's say you have a resolv.conf file that's something like this.
nameserver 192.168.0.7
nameserver 192.168.0.8
domain somedomain.local
Then let's say you just changed it to this.
nameserver 192.168.0.7
nameserver 192.168.0.8
search somedomain.local
Would these both do the same thing? Is one slightly better than the other?
Why would declaring both a domain and search not be recommended?
The existence of both keywords are probably historically. Only one of them can be specified in the resolv.conf (the parser built into glibc is supposed to use the last one it encounters). The search keyword is slighty more powerful, since it allows multiple entries, and has the ndots option.
man 5 resolv.conf currently reads:
The domain directive is an obsolete name for the search directive that handles one search list entry only.
Stian Skjelstad summarized the benefits of using search over domain nicely.
I am attempting to set up mailgun on my server.
i am editing the DNS records through whm.
One record is causing me issues
"v=spf1 include:mailgun.org ~all"
I have set this to a TXT record - but if I don't add quotes around the record it gets changed to v=spf1.
However mailgun is not recognising this record. (it recognises another TXT record in double quotes though - however that one is not set as my domain name but rather k1._domainkey
Is there a way to enter this in WHM without the double quotes - or is it likely to be a problem elsewhere (and how do I check that it is correctly set?)
I am quite new to anything other than setting MX records so if more info is needed just let me know.
Thanks for the help in advance!
Well wouldn't you know I just managed to sort it.
If anyone is having the same issue simply append a full stop (period for our american friends :-D) to the end of your domain name.
so mydomain.com becomes mydomain.com.
I had done this for other records by default as I just copied other entries but had missed it off this record.
Perhaps someone clever can tell me why the full-stop is required?
I have seen some domain names like http://nadim.computer/ how could i get a domain name like that. any help?
You can't create your own top level domain. Here is a list where you can choose from.
I'd like to query the DNS records until get the right domain name.
For instance, given www.subdomain.site.com.br, be able to dig from .br until site.com.br.
Which is the most (protocol-speaking) way to achieve that? An recipe using dig/nslookup would be best.
Thanks.
dig +trace www.subdomain.site.com.br
will show you exactly what happens.
dig www.mysite.domain.com #a.root-servers.net
you'll get the next level from there. Just replace the portion after the '#' and keep recursing until you query a server that gives an answer rather than additional information
