Domain name server(DNS)

What is Domain Name Server (DNS)?

Domain name servers are the process of converting human-friendly domain names into IP addresses that computers can communicate with on the Internet. They are part of the Domain Name System, which connects computers across the Internet. This process includes the following:-

  • Sends browser requests to the DNS Resolver. 
  • Requests a root server to check and directs to the domain’s TLD.
  • The domain’s TLD sends the resolver about the address of authoritative server of a domain. 
  • The authoritative server then sends the domain’s IP address to the resolver. 
  • The resolver then passes the IP address to the browser, which connects to the server and loads the webpage.
