DNS
The Domain Name System (DNS) is a system used to convert a computer’s host name into an IP address, on the Internet.
For example, if a computer needs to communicate with the web server “example.net”, your computer needs the IP address of the web server “example.net”.
The DNS is sometimes called the Internet’s telephone book because it converts a Website’s name that people know, to a number that the Internet actually uses.
