The DNS is essentially the phone book for the Web. Rather than translating “John Doe” into a phone number, the DNS instead translates a URL, www.google.com, into an IP address, taking you to the site you’re looking for.
DNS kimsingi ni kitabu cha simu cha Mtandao. Badala ya kutafsiri "John Doe" kwenye nambari ya simu, DNS badala yake inatafsiri URL, www.google.com, kwenda kwa anwani ya IP, inakupeleka kwenye tovuti unayoitafuta.
