DNS

Domain Name System (DNS) is an Internet service that translates the domain
name into IP address. Because the domain name is alphabetic, it is easier to
remember. The Internet, however, is based on IP addresses. Every time you
use a domain name, DNS translates the name into the corresponding IP
address. For example, the domain name www.example.com might be
translated to 198.105.232.4. The DNS has its own network. If one DNS server
does not know how to translate a particular domain name, it asks another
one, and so on, until the correct IP address is returned.
Choose Service > DNS. The DNS page that is displayed contains DNS and
DDNS.
