What is DNS?

In this article:

DNS (Domain Name System) is a naming system for computers and services connected to the internet, or a private network.

DNS tells other systems where to go when someone tries to resolve your domain name. DNS acts as a sort of pointer or traffic control for the internet by translating hostnames into IP addresses.

Since it's typically much easier for us all to remember words over a series of numbers, DNS services are a critical component in making the Internet easier to use. Through DNS services, you can visit us at https://www.domainspot.com instead of entering "54.200.63.102" into your web browser!
