DNS works like a phone book for the Internet by matching the easy-to-read domain names with the numerical addresses to enable communication between computers and servers worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When we type a web address into our browser, it sends a request to our local DNS server to get the IP address of the specified domain. If the server has the information saved, it can immediately respond with the correct IP address. Otherwise, it contacts other DNS servers until the correct answer is obtained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This process is essential for navigating the internet because it allows us to use easily accessible domain names instead of complex IP addresses when trying to reach various online services or websites. Without a working DNS system, we would have to remember all the IP addresses of our favorite websites, which would be impractical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to translating names to addresses, DNS can also handle other functions such as email delivery to correct mail server addresses and routing decisions when <a href=\"\/en\/kunskapsbank\/lastbalansering\/\">load balancing<\/a> among several servers behind the same domain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In summary, a DNS plays a critical role in the Internet infrastructure by enabling seamless and efficient communication between computers and servers worldwide. It is an invisible but necessary part of our digital experience that we often take for granted when surfing the web.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have one <a href=\"\/en\/vps\/\">VPS<\/a> or <a href=\"\/en\/dedikerad-server\/\">dedicated server<\/a> is important that you have set up a DNS server so that your server can do DNS lookups. In the standard configuration for our VPS and dedicated servers, we insert a DNS server during installation.<\/p>","protected":false},"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-503129","kb","type-kb","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>DNS - Domain Name Server<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/hexabyte.se\/en\/kb\/dns\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"DNS - Domain Name Server\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"DNS (Domain Name System) \u00e4r en central del av internetinfrastrukturen som \u00f6vers\u00e4tter webbadresser, s\u00e5som www.example.com, till IP-adresser.
