What is DNS Hosting?
DNS (Domain Name System) Hosting is a service that maps human-friendly domain names—like “www.example.com” to their corresponding IP addresses. This process enables users to access websites without needing to remember a string of numbers. Acting as the internet’s address book, DNS plays a crucial role in ensuring seamless navigation across the web.
How DNS Hosting Works
When you enter a web address in your browser, the DNS service works behind the scenes to make the connection:
- Receives the Request: Your browser sends a request for the domain name to a DNS server.
- Looks Up the IP Address: The DNS server searches its records to find the IP address linked to that domain.
- Connects to the Server: The browser uses the IP address to connect to the correct web server, loading the requested site or service.
This quick and transparent process enables users to access websites easily, without needing to deal with IP addresses directly.
