BIND, or named, is the most widely used Domain Name System (DNS) software on the Internet.

On Unix-like operating systems it is the de facto standard.

In computing, a denial-of-service attack (DoS attack) is a cyber-attack where the perpetrator seeks to make a machine or network resource unavailable to its intended users by temporarily or indefinitely disrupting services of a host connected to the Internet.

Denial of service is typically accomplished by flooding the targeted machine or resource with superfluous requests in an attempt to overload systems and prevent some or all legitimate requests from being fulfilled.

A DoS attack is analogous to a group of people crowding the entry door or gate to a shop or business, and not letting legitimate parties enter into the shop or business, disrupting normal operations.

In computing, load balancing improves the distribution of workloads across multiple computing resources, such as computers, a computer cluster, network links, central processing units, or disk drives.

Load balancing aims to optimize resource use, maximize throughput, minimize response time, and avoid overload of any single resource.

Using multiple components with load balancing instead of a single component may increase reliability and availability through redundancy.

Load balancing usually involves dedicated software or hardware, such as a multilayer switch or a Domain Name System server process.

A DNS hosting service is a service that runs Domain Name System servers.

Most, but not all, domain name registrars include DNS hosting service with registration.

Free DNS hosting services also exist.

Many third-party DNS hosting services provide Dynamic DNS.

South America is a continent located in the western hemisphere, mostly in the southern hemisphere, with a relatively small portion in the northern hemisphere.

It may also be considered a subcontinent of the Americas, which is the model used in nations that speak Romance languages.

The reference to South America instead of other regions (like Latin America or the Southern Cone) has increased in the last decades due to changing geopolitical dynamics (in particular, the rise of Brazil).
