What is DNS (Domain Name System)? How does it work? |
|
Answer» DNS is an acronym for Domain Name System. In 1983, Paul Mockapetris and Jon Postel created DNS. It is a naming system that encompasses all internet resources, including physical nodes and applications and is USED to quickly locate resources on a network. The Domain Name System (DNS) is an internet service that translates domain names to IP addresses. Users who don't have DNS MUST know the IP ADDRESS of the website they want to visit. The working of a Domain Name System: If you wish to go to the "InterviewBit" website, type "HTTPS://www.interviewbit.com" into the address bar of your web browser. Once the domain name is entered, then the domain name system will translate the domain name into the IP address which can be easily interpreted by the computer. Using the IP address, the computer can locate the web page requested by the USER. |
