Domain Name Servers are the Internet's equivalent of a phone book. They maintain a directory of domain names and translate them to Internet Protocol addresses.

The Domain Name System (aka DNS) is used to resolve human-readable hostnames like www.Dyn.com into machine-readable IP addresses like 204.13.248.115. DNS also provides other information about domain names, such as mail services.

The domain name system (DNS) is the way that internet domain names are located and translated into internet protocol (IP) addresses. The domain name system maps the name people use to locate a website to the IP address that a computer uses to locate a website.

DNS is an acronym in English of the Domain Name System, the Domain Name System was invented in 1984 for the Internet, the only system that allows the corresponding IP address and domain. Domain Name System (DNS) is an orderly system for computers, services, or any resource that participates in the Internet. It links a variety of information to the domain name assigned to the participants. Most importantly, it translates meaningful human domain names into binary identifiers, bundled with network equipment for the purposes of locating and addressing devices around the world.

Each computer on the internet is assigned a unique address called an IP address. An IP address is nothing but a string of numbers. It is very difficult to keep in mind the IP addresses of all the websites we visit daily. Words are easier to remember than strings of numbers. This is where domain names come into the picture. When you visit a website, all you need to know is its URL. Computers remember numbers, and DNS helps us convert the URL into an IP address that the computer can understand.
