Short for Domain Name System (or Service or Server), an Internet service that translates domain names (like www.jonathanspencer.net) into IP addresses.

Domain names are alphabetic, thus they’re easier to remember.

The Internet however, is really based on IP addresses. Every time you use a domain name, therefore, a DNS service must translate the name into the corresponding IP address. For example, the domain name www.example.com might translate to 198.105.232.4.

The DNS system is, in fact, its own network. If one DNS server doesn’t know how to translate a particular domain name, it asks another one, and so on, until the correct IP address is returned.

So whats it all about this article?
