DNS (Domain Name System) is the system that translates domain names into server addresses so browsers can find the correct website.
You can think of DNS as a directory that connects a domain name to its destination. Every DNS record you create is stored within this system.
For example:
-
Domain Name = Your store's name
-
IP Address = Your store's physical location
- DNS Records = The directions that connect the name to the location
Without the required DNS configuration, your domain may not direct visitors to your website or connect to services such as email.
