Domain Name
Users enter the domain name (e.g. www.example.com) into their browser to access a website.
DNS Servers
DNS servers take the request and begin looking for the IP address associated with the specific domain.
IP Translation
DNS servers consult a global hierarchy of servers to find the IP corresponding to the domain name.
Response to User
Once the IP is found, DNS servers provide this response to the user’s device.
Site Access
With the corresponding IP address, the device connects to the web server associated with the domain and gets the desired content.

DNS servers are distributed globally, ensuring that requests are handled quickly and efficiently.
DNS records can be configured to add an extra layer of security and protection.
DNS hosting providers often offer redundancy to ensure uninterrupted operation.
