Comodo Announces DNS Industry Standards Established for Best Practices with the Launch of Authoritative DNS GuidelinesDNS - the domain name system - is the heart of the Internet's naming infrastructure, acting as a virtual directory matching domain names to IP addresses so that Internet users get to where they need to go.
A DNS is like a phonebook for a computer. When a person wants to look up a phone number, he or she looks in the phone directory for the other party's name, which corresponds with a number that a telephone can connect to. A DNS works the same way; when a person types a website address such as www.comodo.com, into a browser's search bar, the computer contacts a Domain Name Server. The DNS identifies the IP address that corresponds to the domain name, like a telephone user looking up a telephone number in the directory. The DNS server then replies to the user's browser, informing it of the IP address, and the browser duly connects.
For most Internet users, the DNS server they use is furnished by their Internet Service Provider. This process of matching human-readable domain names to machine-understandable IP addresses is part of the fabric of the Internet. It happens millions of times per day.
