Root Zone Database

The Root Zone Database is a critical component of the internet's domain name system (DNS). It contains information about top-level domains (TLDs), like .com, .org, and country-specific domains like .uk. This database acts like a global directory, helping to translate user-friendly website names into machine-readable IP addresses, so computers can locate and access websites. Managed by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), the Root Zone Database ensures that internet navigation remains organized and reliable, connecting users to the correct online destinations.
