==DNS definition==
'''DNS''' or '''Domain Name System''' is a hierarchical and decentralized naming system for computers, services, or other resources connected to the Internet or a private network.
Each device, connected to the internet have unique IP address, like 192.168.1.1 (IPv4) or 2001:db8:3333:4444:5555:6666:7777:8888 (IPv6), which help to identify device on a network. For humans is hard to memorize all these sequences of numbers and in this case helps DNS, which translates human readable webpage names, e.g., google.com, to computer friendly IP addresses.
