Domain Name System

Domain Name System refers to a mapping between domain names and IP address. Domain names are the human readable names given to a website, for instance. IP addresses are numeric addresses to identify a device on the Internet. This mapping exists because domain names can be more easily memorized by people (they are words), as opposed to IP Addressed which are numbers (compare google.com to 172.217.14.238).
