DNS servers
DNS servers are like the internet’s phone book. When you type a website address (like www.example.com), your device asks a DNS server to find its corresponding numerical IP address. The DNS server then provides this address, allowing your device to connect to the website's server. This system ensures you don't need to remember complex numbers; instead, you use easy-to-remember names. DNS servers are essential for navigating the internet smoothly, translating user-friendly names into the technical addresses needed for data exchange.
