Static DNS
The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical naming system built on a distributed database for
computers, services, or any resource connected to the Internet or a private network associates various
information with domain names assigned to each of the participating entities. Most importantly, it
translates domain names meaningful to humans into the numerical identifiers associated with
networking equipment for the purpose of locating and addressing these devices worldwide.
An often-used analogy to explain the Domain Name System is that it serves as the phone book for the
Internet by translating human-friendly computer hostnames into IP addresses. For example, the
domain name www.example.com can be translated into the addresses 192.0.32.10 (IPv4).
IP Address:
The IP address you are going to give a specific domain name.
Domain Name:
