All traffic over the Internet is actually controlled by numeric addresser (IP
addresses). Try for example entering 216.185.111.40 in your web browser and you
will see that you connect to www.theplanet.com. A DNS or domain name server is
simply a computer with software and databases that converts the alphanumeric
address www.theplanet.com to the numeric IP address 216.185.111.40. DNS also
communicate with each other to be able to respond to queries.
Your domain has
to be registered in a DNS for it to be possible for other people and computers
to reach it with the alphanumeric address. The DNS must also specify in its
databases which IP address your web is on, and to which mail server your
domain's email should be sent.
