What is DNS?
The acronym DNS stands for Domain Name System. The Domain Name System is a standard for navigating all of the various Internet Protocol (IP) devices connected to the Internet. Without the Domain Name System, every time a person wanted to navigate to a particular website that person would need to type in the IP address.
Due to the fact that the world was running out of the original IPv4 Internet Protocol addresses, a newer standard is in the process of being adopted entitled IPv6. The IPv6 number scheme is much longer than the original IPv4 addresses and uses 128-bit addresses. This allows for a total of around 3.4×10^38 addresses for IPv6 versus just 4,294,967,296 unique addresses for the original IPv4 standard.
What is a DNS Server? What is a Nameserver?
Both DNS server and nameserver refer to the computer server which translates numeric data such as IP addresses into a more easily recognizable and memorable word-based Internet addresses. These word-based Internet addresses are commonly referred to as domain names.
