DNS stands for Domain Name System. Think of it as the "phonebook" of the internet. When you type hostingwithservice.com into your browser, DNS is the service that translates that name into the specific IP address of the server where your website lives.
If your DNS is configured incorrectly, your website goes down, and your emails stop arriving. It is the most critical—and often most confusing—part of launching a website.
At the big hosting companies, you are often given a wall of technical records (A records, CNAMEs, MX records) and told to "figure it out."
At HostingWithService, we handle your DNS for you.
