DNS
Definition by Best Host Ratings
Domain Name System. This is a system that translates a website name - e.g www.besthostratings.com - to an IP address or Internet Protocol address. The global DNS data is replicated on many DNS servers across the Internet, hence when you change your domain name DNS information, it takes a while (24-48 hours) to have the changes propagated worldwide.
