Term: DNS [Domain Name System]

DNS is an acronym for Domain Name System, or occasionally Domain Name Service or Server.

DNS is the service that maps human-readable domain names – like “askleo.com” – to the actual numeric IP addresses – such as 67.225.235.59 – which identify the server on which the domain name resides.
