👉 DNS (Domain Name System) computing is the process by which domain names are translated into IP addresses, enabling users to access websites and services using human-readable names instead of numerical IP addresses. This is accomplished through a hierarchical, distributed network of servers that store and manage DNS records. When a user requests a website, their device queries a DNS resolver, which then consults a DNS server to find the corresponding IP address associated with the domain name. This process involves multiple levels of recursion, starting from root servers to authoritative name servers, ensuring efficient and reliable domain name resolution. DNS computing relies on protocols like DNS Query Protocol (DNSQP), DNS Response Protocol (DNSRP), and DNS A record types to facilitate the translation, ensuring that internet communication remains user-friendly and scalable.
