What is DNS (Domain Name Server)? Every time you visit a site on the internet your are probably using a DNS. The exception is when that particular site has already been cached by Windows. Every site on the internet has a unique address just like your house does. It’s a lot easier to remember Bill’s place than it is to remember 10244 East street, WI, USA. That’s what DNS does. It translates a memorable address, like google into something the internet uses. Google’s IP address is 74.125.225.83. How would you like to remember all those numbers for all the sites you visit? I didn’t think so. Tip: To find the IP address to any site just open a command prompt, then type: ping . For example, type ping google, and it will return the IP address for Google. Neat, huh…
