Hello Friends,

Please tell me what is DNS.

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.

Domain name servers (DNS) are equal to the Internet of a phone book. They maintain a directory of the domain name and translate them into Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. This is necessary because, although the domain name is easy for people to remember, the use of websites based on computer or machine, IP address

Domain Name Server(DNS) its like a phone book on the internet. It records domain names and their IP addresses. This is necessary because, although domain names are easy for people to remember, computers or machines, access websites based on IP addresses.

DNS stands for Domain Name System.It is a hierarchical decentralized naming system for computers, services, or other resources connected to the Internet or a private network.

Actually, (DNS) stands for Domain Name Server where it is used translate Internet domain and host names to IP addresses and vice versa

[roslin]

A DNS server is a computer server that contains a database of public IP addresses and their associated hostnames, and in most cases, serves to resolve, or translate, those common names to IP addresses as requested. DNS servers run special software and communicate with each other using special protocols

[Sophiaparker]

DNS servers translate requests for names into IP addresses, controlling which server an end user will reach when they type a domain name into their web browser. These requests are called queries.

Hey there!
The Domain Name System (DNS) is one of the internet's fundamental building blocks, but most people outside of the networking industry are probably unaware of how much they rely on it on a daily basis to conduct their jobs, check their email, and spend time on their smartphones.

DNS is, at its most basic level, a directory of names that correspond to numerical values. In this case, the numbers represent IP addresses, which are used by computers to interact with one another. Almost all descriptions of DNS employ the analogy of a telephone directory.

The process of DNS resolution involves converting a hostname (such as www.example.com) into a computer-friendly IP address (such as 192.168.1.1). An IP address is given to each device on the Internet, and that address is necessary to find the appropriate Internet device - like a street address is used to find a particular home.

Domain Name System is the directory to your website on the internet. It is a set of protocols developed in the early 80’s to support the development of distributed network. It’s an infrastructure that supports the World Wide Web. It actually serves as an address book for the Internet. It translates domain names into IP addresses. For example, when you type Wikipedia.org in your browser and hit enter, your computer first goes to a DNS server, to get the address of the server where the request should be sent. DNS also allows you to type in a domain name instead of an IP address, like wikipedia.org .

Hello Friends,

Please tell me what is DNS.

DNS is a system for computers and services connected to the Internet that resolves domain names to IP addresses. It converts human-readable domain names (www.google.com) into Internet Protocol (IP) addresses (184.154.29.74).
