DNS is an abbreviation for Domain Name System, which maintains the Domain Namespace on the internet that translates domain names and hostnames into numerical IP(Internet Protocol) Addresses.

Simply put, if you type in an http:// address in your browser, the DNS Server looks for that address in the database and doesn't find it, and then sends it to another DNS Server that looks it up and it finds it and translates it into an IP Address format and sends the information back to the initial DNS Server that requested it and the result is you receive a page of information now that that DNS Server knows what the IP Address is.
