Domain Name System

Jump to: navigation, search

DNS (Domain Name System) is an hierarchical naming system for computers, services or other resources connected to internet or a private network. DNS associates various information with domain names assigned to each participant. The most important fact is it translates domain names significant for human into identification binary numbers associated with network equipments with the purpose of locating and addressing them world wide. A very often analogy for DNS is "it serves as a phone book for internet" by translating computer names into IP addresses. For example www.saferpedia.eu it's translated into 216.95.138.201.
