DNS (Domain Name System)
Internet's Essential Address Book
The Domain Name System (DNS) is akin to the Internet's phone book, translating human-friendly domain names into IP addresses. When a user types a web address like www.theiotprovider.com, DNS servers translate it into a numerical IP address, enabling browsers to load the desired web page. This system is fundamental to the functionality of the Internet, simplifying the user experience and enabling easy navigation.
