Static DNS

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical naming system built on a distributed database for
computers, services, or any resource connected to the Internet or a private network. It associates
various information with domain names assigned to each of the participating entities. Most
importantly, it translates domain names meaningful to humans into the numerical identifiers
associated with networking equipment for the purpose of locating and addressing these devices
worldwide.
An often-used analogy to explain the Domain Name System is that it serves as the phone book for
the Internet by translating human-friendly computer hostnames into IP addresses. For example, the
domain name www.example.com translates to the addresses 192.0.32.10 (IPv4).
Static DNS is a concept relative to Dynamic DNS, in static DNS system, the IP mapped is static
without change.
You can map the specific IP to a user-friendly domain name. In LAN, you can map a PC to a domain
name for convenient access. Or you can set some well known Internet IP mapping item so you're
your router will response quickly for your DNS query instead of querying for the ISP's DNS server.
Host Name: type the domain name for the specific IP.
