Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -DNS translates domain names to IP addresses so browsers can load Internet resources. Each device connected to the Internet has a unique IP address which other machines use to find the device.
Detailed explanation-3: -Host names are mapped to IP addresses, but a host name and an IP address do not have a one-to-one relationship. A host name is used when a web client makes an HTTP request to a host. The user making the request can specify the IP address of the server rather than the host name, but that is now unusual on the Internet.
