DNS, or Domain Name System, is a system that converts human-readable domain names (for example, tseivo.com) into IP addresses used by computers to identify servers on the network.
Key Functions of DNS
Conversion of names to IP addressesDNS allows users to use human-readable domain names instead of numerical IP addresses to access websites and other resources on the Internet.
Domain distributionDNS is responsible for the hierarchical organization of domain names and the distribution of management among various registrars and DNS servers.
Availability and scalabilityDNS provides scalability and availability, allowing multifunctional servers to handle requests for converting domain names into corresponding IP addresses.
DNS operates based on a distributed database that includes a hierarchical structure of domains. This structure includes root domains, national top-level domains (for example, .com, .org, .net), and specific domains (for example, tseivo.com). DNS servers are located around the world and interact with each other to ensure the conversion of domain names into corresponding IP addresses.
DNS was developed in 1983 and established as an Internet standard. One of its main purposes was to facilitate access to resources using human-readable domain names instead of memorizing numerical IP addresses.
