Explanation:
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: -Web browsers interact through Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. 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: -There are four types of IP addresses: public, private, static, and dynamic.
