Domain Name Search FAQs
1. How do domain names work?
When you enter a domain name in your web browser, it first sends a request to a global server network that forms the Domain Name System (DNS).
These servers then look up the name servers or DNS servers associated with the domain and forward the request to those name servers.
The web server now fetches the web page and pieces of information associated with it. Finally, it then sends this data back to the user’s browser.
