What is DNS Lookup ?
DNS Lookup is a widely used utility for retrieving information about a domain, including its IP address and server details such as country, location, region, and city. This software or web application can be used to gather information for any domain, whether it's a well-known website like google.com or wikipedia.org providing insights into their corresponding numerical IP addresses such as as 208.80.154.224 or 142.251.167.106. While a similar result can be achieved using the ping command in the command prompt, where converters offer a user-friendly alternative, providing convenience and ease of use.
What is DNS and How it Works ?
The Domain Name System (DNS) is like a phonebook for the internet. It translates human-readable domain names into machine-readable IP addresses that computers can understand. When you type a domain name into a web browser, your computer sends a request to a DNS server to find the corresponding IP address. The DNS server then responds with the IP address, allowing your computer to connect to the correct website.
