name server
Domain lookup service
A name server is a computer that translates domain names into IP addresses.
When you type a web address, name servers look up where that site actually lives on the internet.
The Domain Name System (DNS) relies on networks of name servers to route traffic: The site was down because their name server wasn't responding.
