How DNS Works
About Lesson

DNS (Domain Name System) provides a simple way to communicate with devices on the internet without remembering complex numbers. Much like every house has a unique address for sending mail directly to it, every computer on the internet has its unique address to communicate with it called an IP address. An IP address looks like the following 104.26.10.229, 4 digits ranging from 0 – 255 separated by a period. When you want to visit a website, it’s not exactly convenient to remember this complicated set of numbers, and that’s where DNS can help. So instead of remembering 104.26.10.229, you can remember kanohost.com instead.
