DNS

DNS, short for Domain Name System, is a hierarchical decentralized naming system used on the internet to translate human-readable domain names into IP addresses. It enables users to access websites and other resources using easy-to-remember domain names, such as www.example.com, instead of numeric IP addresses like 192.0.2.1.
