 DNS Definition
We define DNS |
DNS - This service maps TCP/IP numbers, such as 123.12.4.245, to a more easily remembered name, such as www.geek.com. Thus, when you type www.geek.com into your browser, it goes out to the DNS server specified by your ISP and asks for a matching TCP/IP address.If the browser finds a DNS entry for the name you typed in, you see the appropriate website. If not, it lets you know. Every domain name that is actually being used for a website has a corresponding TCP/IP address. When you set up a site you have your ISP add a DNS entry to its DNS servers (or manage it yourself). This entry gets replicated across the Internet in a matter of hours, and, once fully replicated, you can reach your website from any Internet connection. |
