The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical and distributed naming system for computers, services, and other resources in the Internet or other IP networks. It translates domain names to numerical IP addresses and stores records such as start of authority, IP addresses, mail exchangers, name servers, pointers, and aliases. DNS uses UDP and TCP protocols for communication and is used to combat unsolicited email.
