DNS stands for Domain Name System, and it acts like the phonebook of the internet.

Here’s how it works in simple terms:

You type a web address (e.g., www.linkedin.com).

Your device asks the DNS system, “What’s the IP address for this name?”

DNS servers search their records or ask other servers if needed.

Once the IP address is found, your browser uses it to connect to the right server.

The website loads!

💡 Without DNS, we’d have to remember complex IP addresses like 142.250.190.78 instead of simple names like google.com.

DNS makes the internet more user-friendly, fast, and organized—quietly working behind the scenes every time you go online.
