DNS (Domain Name System) is a service that translates domain names into IP addresses, allowing browsers to find and access websites.
When you type a domain name into your browser, such as “example.com,” your computer sends a request to a DNS server. The DNS server then looks up the IP address associated with that domain name and returns it to your computer. Your computer then uses the IP address to connect to the web server hosting the website.
DNS is essential for the functioning of the internet because it allows users to access websites using easy-to-remember domain names instead of complex IP addresses.
