DNS (Domain Name System) is like the internet’s phonebook. It translates easy-to-remember website names, such as google.com, into the numerical IP addresses that computers use to find and communicate with websites.
When you type a website address into your browser, DNS helps direct your requestto the correct server. This happens automatically in the background, usually within seconds.
In simple terms:
DNS connects a website’s name to the server where that website is hosted.
For example:
www.example.com → DNS → IP address → Web server → Website
DNS is an essential part of how the internet works, allowing people to use memorable domain names instead of having to remember complicated IP addresses.
