How It Works — 3 Simple Steps

What Is a Domain Name?

💡 Simple analogy: A domain is like a contact name in your phone. You tap "Google" — you don't memorize the number 142.250.80.46. DNS is the phone book that connects the name to the number.

1

🌐 You type the name

You write google.com in the browser bar

→Asks DNS server

2

📖 DNS looks it up

DNS finds the IP address:
142.250.80.46

→Sends address back

3

🖥️ Website loads

Browser connects to the server and shows the page
