DNS explained - The Domain Name Servers by Indichosts.net

DNS explained - The Domain Name Servers by Indichosts.net: "DNS

DNS is a software program that runs on a dedicated computer known as a DNS server. DNS serves two primary functions:

1) To translate domain names into IP addresses.

It's much easier to remember a domain like mydomain.com than a sixteen digit number like 192.168.100.1. DNS servers make translating or "Resolving" this information fast and seamless. When your computer needs to know the IP address for yourdomain.com it asks a DNS server (usually the one provided by your ISP.)"
