How Internet and DNS works

After taking a browser and you enter any website like google.com your request is

redirected to your ISP’s(Internet Service Provider’s) default Domain DNS, also

called Domain Name Server.This DNS is accessed by all the Internet user of that

particular ISP.After getting request of google.com the DNS server process your

request and redirects to www.google.com original address (IP Address) i.e. 173.194.36.32

and then you can open the Google website. Sometimes too many request’s at a time can

often make DNS server take lot of  time to process your request. This issue can affect your internet speed.

DNS is like a address book which converts hostnames into IP to locate that particular website or service.

Each website has its own IP address.
