What is DNS?

DNS stands for Domain Name System. It is the protocol that allows users to access websites and services using human-readable domain names instead of numeric IP addresses. When a domain name is entered in a browser, DNS servers resolve it to the corresponding IP address, enabling communication between devices on the internet. DNS is essential for usability and connectivity across the web.
