DNS (Domain Name System),is the service which translates between Internet names and Internet addresses.

DNS records or Zone files are used for mapping URLs to an Ips
The most popular records are the NS records, which have a direct effect on where the website will resolve, and the MX records, which define which mail server will handle the emails for that domain name.
