Understanding DNS Servers

Domain Name System (DNS) servers are essential for resolving domain names to IP addresses. A domain name is a string of characters used to identify a specific site on the internet. When you type in www.example.

com into your web browser, your computer contacts a DNS server to lookup the IP address for example.com.

DNS servers are located on the internet and can be used to resolve hostnames to IP addresses. A hostname is the name assigned to a particular computer on the internet.

A DNS server resolves hostnames to IP addresses and can also provide other information, such as the type of service offered by a host.
