Domain Name Server (DNS)

This is the way that Internet domain names are located and translated into Internet Protocol addresses (such as `www.siebendesign.net`). A domain name is a meaningful and easy-to-remember "handle" for an Internet address (like 209.25.221.22) .
Because maintaining a central list of domain names and the corresponding IP address would be impractical, the lists of domain names and IP addresses are distributed throughout the Internet in a hierarchy of authority. There is probably a DNS server within close geographic proximity to your access provider that maps the domain names in your Internet requests or forwards them to other servers in the Internet.
