An elaborated article about DNS resolution:

Domain names are the addresses of websites and other resources on the Internet. They are composed of a series of characters, usually separated by dots, and are usually written in lowercase.

When someone types a domain name into a web browser, the browser looks up the name in a DNS server. The DNS server is a computer that stores the addresses of different websites and other resources.

The DNS server looks up the name in a database of names. If the name is found, the server returns the IP address of the website or resource.

If the name is not found, the server returns the default domain name for the computer, which is usually the name of the computer manufacturer.

DNS resolution is a process of finding the corresponding IP address for a domain name. When you type in the domain name www.example.com into your web browser, your computer asks the DNS server for the IP address for www.

com. The DNS server looks up the name in its database and returns the IP address for www.com.
