What exactly is DNS?

DNS stands for domain name system.

DNS is like the whitepages directory of the Internet. You supply a name, DNS supplies a number. The name in this case is specifically a hostname and the number is an IP address. Without DNS you would have to remember every IP address of every website you want to visit. With over 300 million websites on the web, remembering every IP address would be utterly impossible, unless maybe you are Kim Peek, the real Rain Man. More about DNS
