Domain name to IP address translation is a process by which the Domain Name System (DNS) server translates a domain name into its associated IP address. Domain name resolution is the process by which the DNS server finds the IP address corresponding to a domain name.

When a user types in a domain name, the DNS server looks up the domain name in the DNS database. If the domain name is not found, the DNS server then looks up the IP address corresponding to the domain name.

If the IP address is not found, the DNS server queries a name server for the domain name.

The DNS server can translate a domain name to its associated IP address using one of two methods:

1. Using a fully qualified domain name (FQDN).

2. Using a domain name server (DNS) query.

When the DNS server uses a FQDN, it converts the domain name to its FQDN and looks up the IP address. For example, if the user types in the domain name apple.com, the DNS server would convert the domain name to apple.com.x.

x and would look up the IP address for apple.
