DNS

Domain name system (DNS) is an Internet service that translates domain names

into IP addresses. Because domain names are alphabetic, they are easier to

remember. The Internet, however, is actually based on IP addresses. Each time

you use a domain name, a DNS service must translate the name into the

corresponding IP address. For example, the domain name www.example.com

might be translated to 198.105.232.4.
