Problem
What is a DNS server?

Solution
DNS stands for Domain Name System, it and the server translates a domain name to and IP Address.

Although people can remember names, computers communicate via numbers. So, the DNS server functions as an intermediary, converting the domain name that a human remembers to the numerical IP address that the computer can read and use to communicate with other computers.
