A DNS server is a computer system that stores the authoritative DNS records for a domain name system. It is responsible for translating domain names into IP addresses.

There are two types of DNS servers: primary and secondary. A primary DNS server is the DNS server that is designated as the primary server for a domain name.

A secondary DNS server is a DNS server that is used as a backup for the primary DNS server.

Authoritative DNS servers are used to provide accurate IP address information for domains. This is important for hosting companies and other organizations that need to keep track of their users’ online activity.

Authoritative DNS servers also ensure that all DNS requests are directed to the correct DNS server.

A DNS server can be a physical or virtual server. A physical DNS server is a server that is physically located on a network.

A virtual DNS server is a server that is hosted on a remote server.
