DNS (Domain Name System)

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a fundamental component of the internet, responsible for translating human-readable domain names into machine-readable IP addresses. This process allows users to access websites using easy-to-remember names instead of numeric IP addresses. When you enter a web address in your browser, DNS servers quickly locate the corresponding IP address, directing your request to the correct server. This system is crucial for the seamless functioning of the internet, enabling efficient routing of traffic and ensuring that users can access websites and online services effortlessly. DNS also plays a key role in email delivery and other internet-based services.
