Linux Vs Windows Commands - Nslookup Host Hostname

as a web admin myself, i sometimes need to troubleshoot my customer's website, and so one of the many commands i use frequently is the nslookup command and the host command in linux. if you are an admin, its important to know them both. if you want to know the dns and or ip information for a domain name you can do the host or the nslookup command

LINUX:
command: host

example. here i am going to do this command for yahoo

---

WINDOWS:
command: nslookup
