What is ADS realm? - dns

I am trying to setup share in my SAN system and it is asking for ADS realm for my Domain Controller.
What is it? Where can i find this value?
I am using ActiveDirectory as domain controller.

The ADS realm is the Active Directory domain suffix that is appended to all hosts that have joined the domain.

Active Directory Domain Controller setup using external TLD (Godaddy)?

I have been given a task to integrate Active Directory in order to authenticate users and manage group policies. My end-goal is to allow users to enroll their devices (Mac and PC) into Active Directory using their company email address (ie. bob#example.com).
Currently, our company uses Godaddy to manage our DNS for our TLD (example.com). I have used a subdomain to allow public access to our domain controller (dc.example.com - Windows Server 2019). Now, because I've made the Domain Controller a subdomain of example.com, when I create an AD user, I can only register them in the dc.example.com namespace. Rather, I want users to be able to login using the top-level domain example.com.
I have been reading up on domain naming best-practices and everything tells me to use a subdomain rather than duplicating the root domain name. I have actually done the latter... and it works. However, it creates conflicts when I am trying to register Mac computers to Active directory. I don't know why.
I dont want to move away from Godaddy since we have many records stored there, but there MUST be an easier way to do this?

This can be done using CNAME records or giving your users the IP address of your server to add in there DNS records.
How shopify does this -
Shopify gives the IP addresses of there load balancer to the users who wants to connect to their domain to the shopify shop.
The end user (domain owner) need to point there domain to the given Ip address, and you will have to have the virtual host setup at your end to recognise each domain.

how to redirect any domain name to our web application

we have a saas web app, written in zend mvc (php) where users can enter their own domain name in their settings page.
When they enter e.g. www.customdomain.com we want this domain to redirect to our web application so we can serve up their own pages from our app.
We do the same already for subdomains by having a *.ourapp.com entry in our DNS configuration.
that works great for subdomains like customdomain.ourapp.com.
This doesn't seem to work for full domain names like www.customdomain.com.
What's the easiest way to have any domain address link to our application, so we can just read out the incoming domain name and act accordingly in our app?
For letting the DNS entry point at your servers:
Domain is already registered (and owned by the customer): Make him configure the CNAME entry to your server's IP. (Even google let this do the enduser by hand - so automating this might be hard)
Domain is free: Register it, configure the CNAME yourself (you own it)
If you only want a redirect, the user can upload a html file or .htaccess file, that performs the redirect. But this has to be done by the customer, too.

How can I take control of my domain that is registered to me but controlled by web developers?

I've got a problem where I have a .co.uk domain of which I am the registrant but my web developers control the domain via easyspace.com. I'm not using the web developers anymore and it ended on bad terms so I would like to change my domain to another registrar without getting them involved. Does anyone know how I can do this?
Thanks
In order to do anything with your domain, you need to be a registered user for it. for every domain, there 4 types of registered user:
Registrant/Owner
Administrative Contact
Billing Contact
and Technical Contact
If you do a whois look-up of your domain name you can see if you are one of those registered users.
If you are, you should be able to contact the Registrar of record (i.e. GoDaddy, Network Solutions, GKG, etc.) and gain an account control login if you do not already have a login for them.
Once you have an account, you can change the Name Servers thereby pointing your site to a different server than it is currently, or initiate a transfer to a new registrar (which costs money - typically the price of a 1 year registration)
Tell them to give you control of it. You're not asking them to do something for you, you're just demanding them to hand over what's yours (assuming the domain is yours).
If you own the domain name, you should be able to change the information with the registrar to point it at another hosting service or your own.
Change your domain host to point to a new name server that you control.
You may lose your web site code but can always start a fresh.
