# named
> Execute the DNS (Dynamic Name Service) server daemon that converts host names to IP addresses and vice versa.
> More information: <https://manned.org/named>.
- Read the default configuration file `/etc/named.conf`, read any initial data and listen for queries:
`named`
- Read a custom configuration file:
`named -c {{path/to/named.conf}}`
- Use IPv4 or IPv6 only, even if the host machine is capable of utilising other protocols:
`named {{-4|-6}}`
- Listen for queries on a specific port instead of the default port 53:
`named -p {{port}}`
- Run the server in the foreground and do not daemonize:
`named -f`
