DNS Server

A DNS Server is a server that contains a list with certain IP addresses and hostnames and translates a hostname to its corresponding IP address.
In other words it matches domain names like websitepulse.com to their IP addresses -- 204.232.239.198

You can instantly test a DNS server with our Server Test tools.
