Which network service is responsible for translating a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) like www.example.com into its corresponding IP address so that computers can locate the correct host on a TCP/IP network?
The Domain Name System (DNS) resolves hostnames or domain names to IP addresses. This translation lets user-friendly names be used in place of numeric addresses when establishing connections. DHCP assigns IP settings, NTP synchronizes clocks, and SMB is a file-sharing protocol-none of these perform name-to-address resolution.
