The internet uses a Domain Name System (DNS) this is how computers connect to each other to exchange information. When someone wants to visit a website the user must type in an address in plain English. The DNS translates the address into a series of numbers. This called an IP address. The IP address marks the location of a computer on the internet much like a house street address marks the location of where you live. The Name Server will resolve the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) with the proper IP address. It will send a true response back to the users computer and the server will send the web page the user requested back to their web browser.
