Working with Hostnames and Network Addresses in Socket Programming
Domain Name System (DNS) Resolution
The Domain Name System (DNS) provides a mechanism for translating human-readable domain names into numerical IP addresses and vice-versa. A domain name acts as a substitute, or alias, for an IP address.
DNS servers are responsible for this translation. When you access a website, your computer's default DNS se ...
