# DNS and the World Wide Web (WWW)

| DNS and the World Wide Web (WWW) :
> All public Websites run on servers connected to the Internet with public IP addresses.
> The Web servers at hello.com, for example, have addresses like **207.241.148.80**.
> Although people can type address information like **http://207.241.148.80/** into their Web browser to visit sites, being able to use proper names like **http://www.hello.com/** is much more practical.
> The Internet utilizes DNS as a worldwide name resolution service for public Websites.
> When someone types a site's name into their browser, DNS looks up the corresponding IP address for that site, the data required to make the desired network connections between Web browsers and Web servers.
