DNS stands for Domain Name System; it describes a system of hostnames, subdomains, etc. In the World Wide Web, CNM Cyber is located at the CNMCyber.com hostname.

Various systems of CNM Cyber are available at subdomains such as cabin.cnmcyber.com for CNM Cabin, cert.cnmcyber.com for CNM Cert, social.cnmcyber.com for CNM Social, tube.cnmcyber.com for CNM Tube, or wiki.cnmcyber.com for CNM Wiki.

The CNM Next Apps, which are those versions of CNM apps that are installed on the CNM Cloud Next, feature the .next. field added to their hostnames such as cert.next.cnmcyber.com and social.next.cnmcyber.com.

Similarly, the CNM HandsOn Apps, which are those versions of CNM apps that are installed on the CNM HandsOn Farm, feature the .handson. field added to their hostnames such as tube.handson.cnmcyber.com and wiki.handson.cnmcyber.com.
