When you type a domain name into your browser, your computer uses the Domain Name System (DNS) to translate that name into an IP address. This IP address is then used to connect to the website’s server. If your DNS server is not working properly, you will not be able to access the internet.
DNS servers are an essential part of the internet infrastructure. Without them, we would not be able to access websites or send emails. DNS servers also play a role in network security, as they can be used to block access to malicious websites.
