Domain Name Servers:

Domain Name Servers:
DNS is a service used on the Internet to translate Fully Qualified Domain Names (FQDN) to their actual Internet Protocol (IP) addresses.
DNS is the de facto naming system for IP–based networks and the naming service that locates computers on the Internet.
DNS is a distributed database that provides a hierarchical naming system for identifying hosts on the Internet.
Name resolution is the process by which DNS resolves the domain names to IP addresses.
The name resolution process done is as follows:
A client sends a query to its local name sever.
In case the local server is unable to resolve the request, it passes on the query to other name servers on behalf of the client.
