What Is a DNS?
You must have been using the internet for so long but have you ever deliberated on how this amazing internet works? Have you ever wondered that when you type a websites’ name in your web browser, how does your browser know where your required information is or which server should it contact with? All these tasks are done through a specialized system called DNS or Domain Name System.
In literal terms, a DNS is a database of network names and IP addresses. It is a system that gives user- friendly & unique names to Networks and generates IP addresses for all the systems connected to the internet. It translates machine data into understandable words and language in order to provide clear and concise search results.
How DNS Works?
As already stated, DNS maintains a database of unique network names and IP address. In a network, each IP address of one user must be different from the other. It is set of any four numbers ranging from 0 to 255, for instance: 192.2.2.41 is an IP address of one computer. When you enter a domain name into your browser, the DNS translates that domain name into the respective IP address, connects your computer to that IP’s web host and displays the requested page on your computer.
