DNS
IT Infrastructure and Networking
DNS (Domain Name System) is the internet's hierarchical naming system that translates human-readable domain names, like example.com, into IP addresses that computers use to locate each other on networks. It functions like a phone book for the internet, relying on a distributed network of servers (root, TLD, and authoritative name servers) to resolve queries. Network administrators and IT professionals manage DNS records to control how domains route traffic, email, and services.
