DNS Server

A DNS (Domain Name System) server is like a digital phonebook for the internet. When you type a website address (like www.example.com) into your browser, the DNS server translates that easy-to-remember name into an IP address, which computers use to locate each other. Without DNS servers, you'd need to remember numerical IP addresses for every site you want to visit. They are essential for navigating the internet smoothly, ensuring your requests reach the right servers and websites load efficiently. Think of DNS servers as the infrastructure that helps users access websites quickly and effortlessly through familiar names.
