DNS Domain Name System

The DNS is an important concepts in the internet, networking and web development. The abbreviation DNS stands for Domain Name System. It acts like the internet phonebook by translating human-readable domain names (such as `www.edutation.com`) into IP addresses (such as `193.42.60.174`) that computers use to communicate.

What is DNS?

DNS stands for Domain Name System. When you type a website address into your browser like www.edutation.com, your computer cannot understand this name directly. It needs an IP address to request and receive data and open the website. DNS converts www.edutation.com to the server IP Address 193.42.60.174. Without DNS. We would have to remember IP addresses instead of domain to access every website.

Why DNS is Required

Imagine there is no DNS then we need to remember thousands of IP addresses is impossible. DNS resolve the problem to remember IP addresses instead of typing Domain like edutation.com, anurl.me, yograb.com etc. Imagine there was no DNS.
