Detailed explanation-1: -DNS servers convert URLs and domain names into IP addresses that computers can understand and use. They translate what a user types into a browser into something the machine can use to find a webpage. This process of translation and lookup is called DNS resolution.
Detailed explanation-2: -The DNS allows to associate an understandable name to an IP address. Then, we associate a logical address, the domain name to a physical address, the IP address. The domain name and the IP address implied are unique. The DNS allows your message to reach its recipient and not someone else holding a similar domain name.
Detailed explanation-3: -Click the Windows Start button, then “All Programs” and “Accessories.” Right-click on “Command Prompt” and choose “Run as Administrator.” Type “nslookup %ipaddress%” in the black box that appears on the screen, substituting %ipaddress% with the IP address for which you want to find the hostname.
