DNS: A Server-Side Story You Need to Know | GreenTek Solutions, LLC

Whether you're browsing your favorite websites or making new pals on social media, DNS is like the unsung hero that makes it all happen. So, let's talk about DNS...!

You see, in the internet world, there are all these servers doing their thing, and we usually think of them as those mysterious entities working behind the scenes. But guess what? Servers have their own story, and DNS is like the main character in that story.

Now, instead of characters, servers are all about IP addresses. Think of DNS as a translator, making life easier by turning those human-friendly website names into the IP addresses that servers need to talk to each other. So, when you type "www.example.com" in your browser, the DNS will find the right IP address that takes you to the website.

How DNS works?

  1. 1.It all starts when you enter a website name in your browser.
  2. 2.Your device first checks if it recognizes the IP address from a previous visit. If it does, you're good to go.
  3. 3.If not, your device reaches out to a helpful resolver. This resolver talks to various DNS servers to find that IP address.
  4. 4.These servers, like the root, TLD, and authoritative name servers, each do their part to uncover the answer.
  5. 5.Finally, the resolver comes back with the IP address, and your device connects you to the right server.
