DNS stands for Domain Name System. It is like the internet’s giant phone book: it matches friendly domain names to the number addresses computers actually use.
In plain words
- You type yourname.com.
- DNS looks it up and finds the right server’s number.
- Your browser is sent to the right place — all in a split second.
💡 Handy tip
DNS records are the individual entries in that phone book. Each one points a part of your domain somewhere. You can view and change them any time with our DNS Configuration Assistant (Domains Menu) — see “DNS records explained”.
