what is Domain name System?

Question

Accepted Answer

Domain Name System (DNS) is a system that translates domain names to IP addresses, allowing users to access websites using human-readable names.

DNS is like a phone book for the internet, translating domain names (like google.com) to IP addresses (like 172.217.3.206).
DNS servers store records of domain names and their corresponding IP addresses.
DNS helps users access websites by resolving domain names to IP addresses in the background.
DNS also supports other types of records like MX records for email servers and CNAME records for aliases.
DNS operates on a hierarchical system, with root servers at the top, followed by top-level domain servers, and then authoritative name servers for specific domains.
