Domain Name System
The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical decentralized naming system for computers, services, or any resource connected to the Internet or a private network. It translates domain names, which are easy-to-remember human-readable addresses, into numerical IP addresses, which are used to locate and identify devices on a network. DNS plays a crucial role in navigating the internet by enabling users to access websites and other online resources simply by typing in a domain name, rather than having to remember complex strings of numbers.
