DNS Hosting

DNS Hosting, or Domain Name System Hosting, refers to the service of
managing and maintaining Domain Name System (DNS) records for a domain
name. DNS is a fundamental system on the internet that translates
human-readable domain names (like www.example.com) into IP addresses
(such as 192.0.2.1) that computers use to identify each other on the
network.

Generally, DNS is the most important system that can help us browse the
internet.

 

  •      A DNS hosting company does all the hard work for us.
  •      No need to memorize IP addresses.
