Domain Name System (DNS)¶

Domain Name System, or DNS, is the internet’s equivalent of a phonebook, translating human-readable domain names, like php.net into machine-readable IP addresses, 172.217.3.110.

DNS is essential for the functioning of the internet, as it allows users to access websites and services using easy-to-remember names instead of complex numerical addresses.

DNS requires the configuration of various records, with different types: A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT.
