When a user wishes to visit a particular website, the computer first requests the website’s correct
IP address from the Domain Name System (DNS) server, and then the computer uses the response
to connect to the website. DNS represents the method used to translate Internet domain names into
IP addresses. A domain name is an alphanumeric name, such as moxa.com, that it is easier to
remember. A DNS server is a host that translates this kind of text-based domain name into the
numeric IP address used to establish a TCP/IP connection.
