A DNS (Domain Name System) server plays a critical role in the functioning of the internet. It acts as a phonebook, translating human-friendly domain names (like www.example.com) into IP addresses (like 192.0.2.1) that computers use to identify each other on the network. When you type a web address in your browser, a DNS server is queried to retrieve the corresponding IP address. Efficient DNS servers are essential for fast website loading times, as they ensure quick and accurate retrieval of this information.
