What is DNS and describes it?

Question

Accepted Answer

DNS stands for Domain Name System. It translates domain names to IP addresses.

DNS is like a phone book for the internet, translating domain names (like google.com) to IP addresses (like 172.217.7.238).
It helps users access websites by translating human-readable domain names into machine-readable IP addresses.
DNS also helps in email delivery by translating domain names in email addresses to IP addresses of mail servers.
DNS operates through a distributed network of servers that store DNS records for different domains.
Common DNS record types include A records (for IPv4 addresses), AAAA records (for IPv6 addresses), MX records (for mail servers), and CNAME records (for aliases).
