What is DNS?

DNS (Domain Name System) translates domain names (like www.google.com) into IP addresses (like 142.250.64.78) so computers can talk to each other over the internet.

How DNS Works

  1. User

→You type a URL like www.google.com in your browser.

→The browser first checks its own cache and your operating system’s cache.

→If the IP address is found in the cache, it directly goes to that IP (no DNS needed).

→If not found, it moves to the next step.

Example: You type www.facebook.com. The browser checks if it already knows the IP from last time.

2.DNS Client (DNS Resolver)

The browser sends a request to a DNS resolver (usually from your ISP like NTC/Ncell).
