DNS: Domain Name Server
A DNS is an internet protocol which turns human comprehensible websites into machine readable addresses.
- For example, www.bbc.co.uk will be converted into an address that can be read by the machine.
- The 'addresses' are known as IP Addresses
- IP addresses allows the user's computer to connect to the destination web server - to get to what they are after.
- The 'addresses' are known as IP Addresses
- For example, www.bbc.co.uk will be converted into an address that can be read by the machine.
A DNS server is a database that contains public IP addresses and their hostnames.
- In more easy to understand terms: a DNS server on the internet is the device that translates that www.lifewire.com you type in your browser to the 151.101.129.121 IP address that it really is.
- The DNS server is that translator between the hostname and IP address
- Computers use IP addresses to access websites
