What is DNS?
The domain name system (DNS) is the way that internet domain names are located and
translated into internet protocol addresses. A domain name is a meaningful and easy-to-
remember "handle" for an internet address.
Because maintaining a central list of domain name/IP address correspondences would be
impractical, the lists of domain names and IP addresses are distributed throughout the
internet in a hierarchy of authority. There is probably a DNS server within close geographic
proximity to your access provider that maps the domain names in your internet requests or
forwards them to other servers in the internet.
