Domain Name Resolution
It is the process of determining the IP address associated with a domain name. This is how it goes:
Let’s say you want to visit a website and type a URL into your web browser. The browser first looks for the IP address of
the server that corresponds to the Domain Name (contained in the URL) on your computer. If this address is present,
the associated server is contacted using this address, and the website is then shown in your browser.
Otherwise, the browser transmits the domain name to a set of servers (known as domain name servers) that lookup
the IP address. After the IP address has been determined, the server is contacted, and the webpage is shown in your
browser.
