DNS

DNS (Domain Name System) is a system that atributes names to many internet services (web, email, etc). This system associates a name or address(a domain like mysite.com for example) with an ip, and it means that a website can be accessed by this name.

Included DNS

Included DNS is a free service for clients that use our plans on Locaweb servers, but it's only available for plans which are Customer Managed. This service offers a DNS zone inside the Locaweb's DNS Server. That DNS zone is fully editable and the client has a better control over the entries in the DNS zone and all this without the need to install any application to manage the DNS on the server.
