DNS (Domain Name System) is a fundamental component of the internet that translates human-readable domain names (like www.example.com) into IP addresses (like 192.0.2.1) that computers use to identify each other on the network.
Key Points

  • Name Resolution  DNS converts user-friendly domain names into IP addresses, allowing users to access websites and services using easy-to-remember names rather than numerical IP addresses.
  • Hierarchical System  DNS operates in a hierarchical manner with different levels, including root servers, top-level domain (TLD) servers (e.g., .com, .org), and authoritative name servers for specific domains.
  • Distributed Database  It is a distributed system with multiple servers around the world that hold and manage DNS records, ensuring that the system is robust and scalable.
  • Types of Records  DNS uses various types of records, including A (address) records, CNAME (canonical name) records, MX (mail exchange) records, and more, to provide different types of information about a domain.

Hence, DNS is like the phone book of the internet, enabling users to navigate the web by translating domain names into IP addresses.
