12.7.4DNS
To access any server or device on the Internet, you need to know its IP address. (But
there are millions of addresses!!) This is where DNS comes in handy, as it translates
domain names into their corresponding IP addresses. DNS is a system that stores
information related to internet domain names in a database online. This information
includes the IP address associated with that domain, and its central task is to translate
easily memorable domain names into the required IP address for accessing the
intended computer .
