Domain name system, also known as DNS, is a hierarchical database that stores the names of Internet resources, such as websites and domain names. It translates human-readable domain names into numeric IP addresses.

DNS is used to locate these resources on the Internet.

DNS is an important part of the Internet infrastructure. Without DNS, people would have to remember long IP addresses, which is not practical. DNS also allows you to share resources among different computers on the network. For example, if you have a website at www.

example.com, you can also have a website at www.duh.com, which is hosted on the same computer.

DNS is a distributed database. This means that it is not stored on one computer, but is distributed across the Internet.

This makes it difficult for one person or organization to control DNS.
