Defining Domain Name Servers

Domain Name System (DNS) converts user-defined domain names into IP addresses. Each time a
domain name is assigned, the DNS service translates the name into a numeric IP address. For
example, www.ipexample.com is translated into 192.87.56.2. DNS servers maintain databases
of domain names and their corresponding IP addresses.
