DNS (Domain Name System) servers act as a guide that translates of websites into IP addresses, allowing you to access them more easily.
Instead of having to remember and type in complex IP addresses, which are just numbers, we simply enter the domain name into the browser. DNS servers function as a directory that associates domain names with their corresponding IP addresses.
When we enter a domain name into the browser, the DNS server looks up the IP address associated with that name and returns it to the browser, enabling it to connect and load the desired website.
In summary, DNS servers make it possible for us to use easy-to-remember domain names instead of complex IP addresses to access websites on the Internet.
