What is DNS?

DNS connects human-friendly domain names to the IP addresses and mail servers that make websites and email work. Without DNS, visitors would need to remember numeric addresses instead of names. DNSExit lets you host and manage DNS for your domain from a web interface, including domains across many top-level and country-code extensions.
