Domain name server

The domain name server is the server that translates our URL (domain name) with the corresponding IP address. Because we visit a URL or application, it can only be achieved after we know the corresponding IP address. The domain name server stores the corresponding relationship table between the domain name and the IP address. In general, we only need to resolve the domain name to the purchased host. After the domain name server updates the data, we can access it through the domain name.

Other servers include application servers, proxy servers, and so on. The application server is the channel to provide management and access for Web applications, and it can also be said to be the foundation of WEB applications.
