DNS

basic
networking

Definition

Domain Name System - translates human-readable website names into computer addresses. Like a phone book that converts 'Pizza Place' into the actual phone number.

Real-World Example

When you type 'google.com', DNS converts it to an IP address like 142.250.185.78 so your browser knows which server to connect to.
