    The ‘Domain Name System’ is like a phone book. This can be stored on a router or other places. When you type in the humon “Google.com” the computer has no clue what your talking about, and this will be converted to an IP address, of which computers understand where to route y our request to, so you can get/load/see the website.

    An DNS address meaning probably refers to something like 1.1.1.1 but your question isn’t complete acute.
