Domain Name
Most of us would find it considerably difficult to remember hundreds of strings of numbers of the sites we visit. So, for humans, the address is in letters (URL). The domain name is the root identifier of a web site on the internet.
When you want to connect a location on the internet (Website) you'd type in an address like www.yahoo.com IP uses
The internet address information
The Domain name system to understand and deliver your mail or request from one computer to another; the letter www.yahoo.com are translated into an IP address, which is in this case, 87.248.113.14. Infact, if you typed in http://87.248.113.14, your screen would show you the Yahoo site and you would make the job a microsecound faster & a trifle easier for the computers. This translation is accomplished by the DNS server.
