What does DNS do?

Short answer. It turns a domain name into an IP address.

What does DNS stand for?

Domain Name System.

Remember

DNS: name to IP address

You type a name. Computers need a number. Who converts it? The browser asks a DNS server. The server returns the IP address. Then the site opens. Remember. DNS turns names into IP addresses.
