What is a Domain Name Service (DNS)? Definition or Meaning

Posted by Bizversity

The World Wide Web would become the entangled web if it wasn’t for the directory that keeps track of where each address is located! Just like how an old-fashioned phone book would provide phone numbers of locations of people and businesses, the Domain Name Service is a directory of IP addresses or numbers that identify and locate computers.

For example…

The IP address of bizversity.com is 118.88.24.13. As such, if you typed in bizversity.com in a browser’s address bar, the Domain Name Service would provide details on which computer connected to the Internet and can bring up the web page associated with that address.
