what is dns ?

Our expert said - 19 Jul 16

DNS stands for domain name system, controls your domain name's website and email settings.

Domain Name Servers (DNS) are the Internet's equivalent of a phone book. They maintain a directory of domain names and translate them to Internet Protocol (IP) addresses.

When visitors go to your domain name, its DNS settings control which company's server it reaches out to.
