DNS

DNS, or Domain Name System, is like the internet's phone book. When you type a website's name (like www.example.com) into your browser, DNS translates that name into an IP address, which is a unique string of numbers that identifies the website's location on the internet. This process allows your browser to find and connect to the correct server so you can access the website. Without DNS, we would have to remember complicated numbers for every site instead of simple, memorable names. It's essential for navigating the internet smoothly.
