The project introduces you to a few concepts, but doesn't explain well how the different systems interact with each other. Also, I miss explanation when the entry types of a DNS record are mentioned.

A start, but definitely you need to do some research yourself afterwards.

incredibly short. 9 euro for less than an hour of content that you could get just by going to the website mentioned or a youtube video. And a test that barely shows what you learnt. would love a refund as this is literally trash!

This is the only course in Coursera on Domains, and I feel like this was a missed opportunity to add so much more information about it - registrars, DNS certificates, name servers, the difference of subdomains being created internally, but top domains being purchased. So I will give 4 stars for being unique a material and well composed, but for me it fell too flat and didn't use the opportunity.

Wish it went into more detail about other things in DNS, like setting up a server on Cloudflare or another platform. But overall very good lesson!
