Detailed explanation-1: -The domain name system (DNS) is a naming database in which internet domain names are located and translated into Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. The domain name system maps the name people use to locate a website to the IP address that a computer uses to locate that website.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Domain Name System (DNS) Server is a server that is specifically used for matching website hostnames (like example.com)to their corresponding Internet Protocol or IP addresses. The DNS server contains a database of public IP addresses and their corresponding domain names.

Detailed explanation-3: -Domain Name System (DNS) is a distributed database system for managing host names and their associated Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. With DNS, you can use simple names, such as www.jkltoys.com, to locate a host, rather than using the IP addresses, for example, 192.168.

Detailed explanation-4: -DNS keeps the record of all domain names and the associated IP addresses. When you type in a URL in your browser, DNS resolves the domain name into an IP address. In other words, DNS is a service that maps domain names to corresponding IP addresses.
