Understanding DNS
Welcome to the DNS documentation! Here, you'll learn how the Domain Name System (DNS) works and how it plays a crucial role in networking. 🌐
What is DNS?
DNS is the phonebook of the internet. Human users access information online through domain names, like froge.ai, but browsers interact through Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. DNS translates domain names to IP addresses so browsers can load Internet resources.
How DNS Works
When you type a web address into your browser, DNS servers take the domain name and translate it into an IP address, allowing your browser to locate and access the site. It's a behind-the-scenes process that occurs in milliseconds!
