What is a DNS server?

A DNS server stores a database of different domain names, network names, Internet hosts, DNS records and other related data. The most basic function of a DNS server is to translate a domain name into its respective IP address. During a domain name resolution request, DNS records are looked up and, if found, the domain name record is returned.

If the domain name is not registered or added to this DNS server, the request is then forwarded to other DNS servers until a domain record is found.
