Why is understanding DNS important?

👀 The Significance of DNS: Understanding DNS is an essential skill for IT Techs and Professionals. Without it, computers on a network may struggle to communicate with each other. DNS stands as one of the core technologies that facilitate the translation of human-friendly computer names (like "MyComputer022") into machine-readable IP addresses (such as "192.168.2.33"). This is crucial for the functioning of modern networks, including the internet!

The DNS manager on a Windows Server is a vital tool for administrators globally, managing countless businesses' DNS services efficiently.
