Domain names


The domain name system is essentially a hierarchical distributed naming system for computers, services or any resource connected to the internet or a private network. It associated various information which the domain names instead of the IP addresses. An IP address were a series of numbers and letters. The users of the internet would have to remember these to get onto a particular page, whereas now they only have to remember a name which is much easier.
These domain name servers made the internet able to access the pages we want as quickly as we do know. This is how the domain name server helped to contribute to the technological growth of the internet, with the speed. We only have the speeds which we know and expect of our internet because of domain names.
