Short
for Domain Name System (or Service or Server), an Internet service that
translates domain names into IP addresses. Because domain names are
alphabetic, they are easier to remember. The Internet however is really
based on IP addresses. Every time you open a website in your browser a
DNS service must translate the name into its corresponding IP address.
For example, the domain name www.example.com might translate to 198.105.212.4.
The
DNS system is in fact its own network. If one DNS server does not know
how to translate a particular domain name, it asks another one, and so
on, until the correct IP address is returned.
Hostroute runs nameservers that customers can use for free, the nameservers are:
ns.srv2.com
ns2.srv2.com
