What
is DNS?
DNS stands for Domain Name
Service. DNS is an Internet Standard
for resolving the names of individual
machines into IP addresses and vice
versa. This resolution is perfomed by
machines called nameservers, and these
nameservers turn things like the names
of web and mail servers into IP addresses.

Do
I need DNS?
The
Internet functions using IP addresses,
not names, so a nameserver is necessary
if you are going to use a website or
mail server. Not everyone needs DNS.
If the machine in question is not supposed
to be found on the internet, a good
way to hide it is to NOT provide DNS for it. It doesn't stop people from
connecting to the IP address, but it
does make it harder to find the machine.

Is
DNS the same thing as a Domain or a
Domain Name like "my-company.com"
?
Not
quite. DNS is a service, not an object. DNS is the process of turning the name
you register into an IP address so that
humans can remember the name, and the
computers, which use numbers, can translate
the name the humans understand into
the numbers they understand.
