“Here’s a short, simple, and copyright-free version you can post directly on your blog:


🌐 What is DNS?

DNS stands for Domain Name System.
It’s like the phonebook of the internet.

  • Humans use names (like www.google.com).
  • Computers use numbers (IP addresses, like 142.250.72.196).
  • DNS is the system that translates names into numbers so browsers and apps know where to connect.

🔹 Example

When you type facebook.com in your browser:

  1. Your computer asks a DNS server: “What’s the IP address of facebook.com?”
  2. DNS replies with the correct IP.
  3. Your browser connects to that IP → website loads.

🔹 Why It Matters

  • Without DNS, you’d have to remember long IP addresses.
  • With DNS, the internet becomes human-friendly and easy to use.
