What is DNS and why does it matter for your internet?
DNS is the internet's translator. When you type amazon.com, DNS looks up the actual address and tells your device where to go. If DNS breaks, websites won't load even though your internet connection is fine. It works behind the scenes every time you click a link.
Every website has two addresses: a readable name (amazon.com) and numbers (like 93.184.216.34). DNS translates the name into the numbers so your device knows where to go. When you type a website address, DNS looks it up in the background. If DNS stops working, websites won't load even though your internet connection is fine.
