DNS in short

DNS or domain name system is how the Internet is organized. Each host has its IP address and services that it uses. To access it and use those services, you will need to find it. The DNS is an international network of name servers that helps you navigate. It will translate your requests from words that you understand or commands on software to the language that the servers speak.

It is one communication level that we use without even knowing it!

DNS uses DNS records. Those are simple text messages with descriptions and instructions that servers understand. They link services, servers, and hosts. Thanks to those records, you don’t need to remember the IP addresses of sites you want to visit. You simply type the domain names in your browser, and you visit the site!

You don’t rent a complete dedicated server. You just make a contract to lease a virtual piece of it that guarantees you some resources.
