DNS is an acronym for "Domain Name Service" (or System).
DNS is basically an Internet service that translates domain names
into IP addresses. So for example, xyz.com will translate into an
IP address such as 64.64.75.75. This is how domain names on the
web are identified. Below we've provided links to a few excellent
DNS tools. From generating a detailed DNS report about a specific
domain name to tracing and identifying the domain name that is associated
with a specific IP address, these DNS tools are a great free treasure
trove for webmasters.
