What is DNS used for?

What is the difference between DNS and IP address?

I am new to the networking world and just want to know the difference between them. The difference is in how they are used. DNS is a Domain Name System, it is an addressing scheme that allows you to address computers and resources on a network. It maps names to IP addresses.

An IP address is a numerical identifier for a computer or server on a network. It is a unique address which identifies a particular computer.

When you see an IP address, you are seeing the numerical equivalent of the name that was used to access the computer. You could be using the name "google.com" to access the google servers, but if you type in the IP address, you get the same results. The name "google.com" is converted to the IP address "173.194.34.13".

With DNS, the reverse happens. The DNS server converts the name to the IP address, so "google.com" maps to the IP address "173.
