DNS stands for Domain Name System, which is primarily used as the medium to convert domain names to their respective IP addresses whenever a client initiates a request query. DNS also stores the database of all the available domain names and their IP addresses, which happens to be registered on the network.

Likewise, in the working of DNS when we type out the website name in the browser, it would send a request to the DNS server. Moreover, if the website domain name has got registered in the database with the DNS, then it would respond with the IP address of the website which is being tried to get accessed and would be something like 53.294.214.67
