DNS Resolver

A DNS resolver is like a translator for the internet. When you type a website name into your browser, the DNS resolver converts that name into an IP address, which is a unique number that identifies the website's server. This process allows your computer to find and connect to the correct site. The DNS resolver first checks its cache for recent translations; if it doesn't find the answer, it asks other servers until it gets the information. This is essential for smooth internet browsing, making it easy to access websites without needing to remember complex numerical addresses.
