Domain Name System<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A domain name system (DNS) is a hierarchical naming system for computers, services, or any resource connected to the Internet or a private network. It associates various information with domain names assigned to each of the participants. Most prominently, it translates easily memorized domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for locating computer services and devices with the underlying network protocols. By translating domain names into numerical IP addresses, the Domain Name System makes it possible for humans to remember the names of websites and other computer services without the need to remember the numerical addresses that computers use to identify each other.<\/p>\n<p>The Domain Name System is a distributed database, which means that it is not stored in one place. Instead, it is stored on a network of computers called name servers. When you type a domain name into your web browser, your computer sends a request to a name server. The name server looks up the IP address for the domain name and sends it back to your computer. Your computer then uses the IP address to connect to the website.<\/p>\n<p>The Domain Name System is a critical part of <div class=\"youtube-subscribe-container\">\r\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCNHT8lW-JmLC68rjBfZhdkg?sub_confirmation=1\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"youtube-subscribe-button\">\r\n            <span class=\"youtube-icon\">\r\n                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 576 512\">\r\n                    <path d=\"M549.7 124.1c-6.3-23.7-24.8-42.3-48.3-48.6C458.8 64 288 64 288 64S117.2 64 74.6 75.5c-23.5 6.3-42 24.9-48.3 48.6-11.4 42.9-11.4 132.3-11.4 132.3s0 89.4 11.4 132.3c6.3 23.7 24.8 41.5 48.3 47.8C117.2 448 288 448 288 448s170.8 0 213.4-11.5c23.5-6.3 42-24.2 48.3-47.8 11.4-42.9 11.4-132.3 11.4-132.3s0-89.4-11.4-132.3zm-317.5 213.5V175.2l142.7 81.2-142.7 81.2z\"\/>\r\n                <\/svg>\r\n            <\/span>\r\n            Subscribe on YouTube\r\n        <\/a>\r\n    <\/div> the Internet.
