What is DNS?

[jalley]

Domain Name System (DNS) is one of the industry-standard suite of protocols that comprise TCP/IP.Domain Name System (DNS) is a database system that translates a computer's fully qualified domain name into an IP address.DNS refers to Domain Name System and represents a powerful Internet technology for converting domain names to IP addresses.

DNS is a protocol within the set of standards for how computers exchange data on the Internet and on many private networks, known as the TCP/IP protocol suite.

DNS means Domain Name System, an Internet service that translates domain names into IP addresses. Because domain names are alphabetic, they're easier to remember. The Internet however, is really based on IP addresses. Every time you use a domain name, therefore, DNS translate domain name into the corresponding IP address.

DNS translates ip addresses into names which are easy read and remember for people. Web servers are ultimately accessed by an I.P. address. When you send a request for a web page that contains a domain name that name has been translated into the I.P. address of the server along the way. There are Domain Name Servers all across the internet that accomplish this task. You set up DNS entries on one server and those setting will propagate across all the other servers around the world. You need to set up at least two different DNS records. One is a "C Name" record (common name). This is to match up your domain (i.e. example.com) with the I.P. address of the server the website files resides on. You also need to set up an "A Name" record (alias name). You set this to point another version of your domain name to what you set up as your C Name. Specifically you need to point your domain name with a "www." to the one without (so that people will get your site no mater how they type your domain name in the address bar). In other words, you use the A Name record to point www.example.com to example.com and then the C Name record points domain.com to the I.P. address of the server .You can check the DNS records like A record,C name record ,MX record,D name,MX records etc.. details at Whoisxy.com

DNS stands for Domain Name system,
It is a standard technology for managing the names of Web sites and other Internet domains. DNS technology allows you to type names into your Web browser like ternenv.com/about and your computer to automatically find that address on the Internet. A key element of the DNS is a worldwide collection of DNS servers.

DNS allows you resolve IP address of the website into domain name, it is very useful system in Internet

DNS stands for Domain Name System and is the method by which the internet works. It is a method of translating domain names (such as Google.com) into an IP address and then locating the web server on which that site is hosted and displaying that page to the person requesting the information. This is done by a series of messages passed between your internet service provider and name servers.

Thanks for all sharing the information about the DNS.

Hello,
Definition: The DNS translates Internet domain and host names to IP addresses. DNS automatically converts the names we type in our Web browser address bar to the IP addresses of Web servers hosting those sites.

DNS implements a distributed database to store this name and address information for all public hosts on the Internet. DNS assumes IP addresses do not change (are statically assigned rather than dynamically assigned).
