What is DNS?
DNS (Domain Name System) translates human-readable domain names (e.g., www.example.com) into machine-readable IP addresses (e.g., 192.168.1.1), enabling users to access websites using names instead of numbers.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does DNS work?
- Your device queries a DNS resolver.
- The resolver checks its cache or queries root servers → TLD servers → authoritative servers.
- The authoritative server provides the IP address, which is sent back to your device.
Why is DNS Important?
DNS is essential for the internet to function, allowing users to access websites and services using easy-to-remember names instead of numerical IP addresses.
