Unlocking the Digital Secret: How Your Favorite Website Magically Goes Live
Translating domains through Domain Name Servers (DNS)
When someone types your domain name into their browser, their computer uses the Domain Name System (DNS) to look up the IP address associated with that domain. DNS acts like a translator, converting your human-readable web address into the computer-readable IP address (like 192.0.2.1) needed to find and load your website.
The computer then uses this IP address to determine which server to contact to retrieve your website’s data.
Connecting to servers
Servers must remain online and ready at all times to receive website requests. Once your server receives a secure request for your website, the server processes it and finds the information it needs to send back to the browser.
