In a nutshell, name servers manage and direct internet traffic. Your browser begins the process of decoding the website you're looking for and directing your traffic to the appropriate web server when you type a website address into the address bar and press Enter. The name server, which sits in the midst of this procedure and contains all the information on the locations of websites, is what keeps track of where each website is located.

The domain name, or the name of the website you input, is difficult for a computer to comprehend. The IP address, a longer string of precise numbers, is considerably simpler to understand.
