What is a Domain Name Server
Saturday, April 18th, 2009When you are on the Internet you are using DNS all the time even though you may not realise this. Without the use of DNS and with current technology, it would be much harder to use the Internet with regards to finding websites. When you are browsing a website or sending an e-mail you are using a domain name.
At the present time you should be located on the domain of iUKHost.com http://www.iukhost.com . This is also the case for the e-mail addresses that we use: sales@iukhost.com. The reason we use domain names is simply because they are very easy to remember. Using domain names is fine for humans, however computers use the IP address behind the domain name. Domain Name Server (DNS) covert the IP address of the website into the domain name that you enter into your web browser which saves you having to remember the numerical IP.
