The domain name system (DNS) stores and associates many types of information with domain names, but most importantly, it translates domain names (computer hostnames) to IP addresses.
It also lists mail exchange servers accepting e-mail for each domain. In providing a worldwide keyword-based redirection service, DNS is an essential component of contemporary Internet use.
Useful for several reasons, the DNS pre-eminently makes it possible to attach easy-to-remember domain names (such as "abc.com.") to hard-to-remember IP addresses (such as 66.230.200.100).
Most Internet services rely on DNS to work, and if DNS fails, web sites cannot be located and e-mail delivery stalls. Every domain name has a DNS record, which allows your web browser to locate the web server that hosts your site.
Switching your domain name’s DNS can be easy depending on who you registered your domain name with.
