What Is DNS? An Easy To Understand Guide Sep 2020 – Website Builder Expert

Looking for an easy to understand, jargon-free introduction to DNS? Well websitebuilderexpert.com have you covered. Web browsers and computers that make up the internet talk to each other, and are identified, using IP addresses.

Think of an IP address like a postal address – every device on the internet has one, and you need the address to find your location (such as a web page). Domains are much easier to remember than IP addresses, and we can use domains thanks to DNS. This is because DNS takes our easy to remember domain name, and translates it into a string of numbers that our web browser can understand. Without DNS, we would all have to remember IP addresses to navigate the internet – so really, DNS is pretty awesome!
