Domain Name System is used to organize computers and network services in a hierarchy of domains. DNS is used to locate services and computers via user friendly names in TCP/IP networks. It makes the use of network origins easier. It helps in mapping user friendly name for a service or a computer for another information related with it like an IP address.
