"Unlocking the Web: Discover the Secrets Behind Domain Names and How They Power Your Online Presence!"

Domains work because of the Domain Name System or DNS—a network of specialized servers that function as the internet’s phone directory.

So when you type a domain name into your browser, here’s what’s actually happening:

  1. Your browser asks a DNS service to find the website’s IP address.
  2. The DNS service looks it up and sends the IP address back.
  3. Your browser connects to that server and requests the website files.
  4. The server sends the files, and your browser displays the website.

All of that happens automatically in the background and makes the web so much easier to use and explore.
