DNS stands for Domain Name System.
DNS stands for Domain Name System. A DNS server resolves a name to an IP address, as stated in an earlier answer, but it can also point to multiple IP addresses for load balancing, or for backup servers if one or more is offline or not accepting connections. Individual organizations may have their own DNS servers for their local Intranet. Some sites have their own DNS server to switch between subdomains within them. For example, a site such as Blogspot can have subdomains come and go quite frequently. Rather than force every DNS server to update their own databases whenever someone creates a new blog, Blogspot could maintain their own DNS server to resolve names within the blogspot.com domain, e.g., to distinguish between myblog.blogspot.com and yourblog.blogspot.com ... their DNS server would be queried once blogspot.com is resolved, and it would be responsible for resolving myblog vs. yourblog.
Domain name queries are handled by the DNS Servers. The most popular DNS server software is BIND 9.
