The domain name system (DNS) is the way that internet domain names are located and translated into internet protocol (IP) addresses. The domain name system maps the name people use to locate a website to the IP address that a computer uses to locate a website.

DNS is a computer distributed system for obtaining information about domains. It is most often used to obtain an IP address by the host name (computer or device), receiving information about mail routing, serving nodes for protocols in the domain.
A distributed DNS database is maintained using a hierarchy of DNS servers that communicate over a specific protocol.
The basis of DNS is the idea of ​​a hierarchical structure of a domain name and zones. Each server responsible for the name can delegate responsibility for the further part of the domain to another server (from the administrative point of view - to another organization or person), which allows to assign responsibility for the relevance of information to the servers of various organizations (people) responsible only for "their" part Domain name.
