What is the Domain Name System (DNS).

Domain name servers operate as databases which are able to translate the domain names into an numerical address which computers recognise. They then tell the searching computers where the site relating to that domain name is located. The system operates as a hierarchy, with root servers holding the information on the "Top Level" domains. These servers then direct the searching computer to the next level.
