Domain Name System (DNS)

The DNS maps domain names to the numerical IP addresses computers use to look up websites. For Dirigible, our DNS provider associates our server IP addresses with getdirigible.com

Most commonly, we use this term when we are talking about DNS Registrars, like Name.com or GoDaddy, where you can buy a domain name, but DNS Providers can also be a separate service, like Cloudflare or Akamai.
