DNS or Domain Name System is a web protocol or process for directing web traffic to its correct destination point using a system that maps domain names to their numerical IP (Internet Protocol) address.
An often used analogy to explain the Domain Name System is that it serves as the "phone book" for the Internet by translating human-friendly computer hostnames into IP addresses. For example, www.example.com translates to 208.77.188.166.
