The Domain Name System is a mechanism for matching all the Internet's host names to their relevant IP addresses. You see, if you wanted to access this site without the facility of DNS, you would have to know its IP address, which is incidentally 193.119.128.38. can imagine, trying to remember all your favourite sites' numerical addresses would be quite a pain. This was the primary reason DNS was implemented.
