# DNS Servers
DNS servers are a critical part of the internet infrastructure. Their main purpose is to translate human-friendly domain names (like www.example.com) into the unique numerical IP addresses (like 192.0.2.1) that computers and servers use to communicate with each other. DNS servers ensure that you can easily navigate the internet using domain names instead of having to remember and use complex IP addresses.
