DNS (Domain Name Service)

DNS, or Domain Name Service, acts like a phone book for the internet. It translates human-friendly website addresses (like www.example.com) into the numerical IP addresses (like 192.168.1.1) that computers use to identify each other on the network. When you type a website into your browser, DNS quickly finds the corresponding IP address so your device can connect to the correct server. This system makes browsing the internet easier and more efficient, eliminating the need to remember complex numbers for every site you visit.
