Learn about the domain name system, how it works, the types of DNS servers in use, DNS security concerns and the history of the technology.

The domain name system (DNS) is a naming database in which internet domain names are located and translated into Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. The domain name system maps the name people use to locate a website to the IP address that a computer uses to locate that website.
