What is DNS?

What is DNS? its a quiestion people often ask.

I like to think of it as a big phone book for the internet. all computers have IP addresses - these are numbers, and can be pretty hard to remember sometimes, especially when they are all so similar. also, there can be multple websites at one IP address.
so what DNS does, is it provides a lookup service, so that we only have to remember a name, such as google.com.
DNS knows where google.com is, and takes us there.

We operate a network of DNS Servers as part of our service here, to help your website and email working.
If you need help setting up y our DNS settings, We are always here to help

Please see This Page on Wikipedia for more info about DNS.
