DNS assignments

DNS assignments are the process by which domain names (like www.example.com) are linked to specific IP addresses, which are numerical identifiers of computers on the internet. Think of it as a phonebook: the DNS maps memorable names to the numbers needed to locate a website. When you enter a domain, your device queries the DNS server to get the corresponding IP address, allowing it to connect to the correct server. This system makes navigating the internet easier by letting you use easy-to-remember names instead of complex numbers.
