The Journey from Name to Address

A 4-Step Lookup Process. Whenever someone enters your domain in a browser, here’s what happens behind the scenes:

Show: (1) A browser window (left) launching a glowing search beam toward a DNS resolver station, (2) The beam splitting to hit root and .COM servers (as futuristic towers), (3) Merging into a pulse hitting an authoritative server (labelled 'Your Domain'), (4) A returning green checkmark rocket delivering the IP to a loading website (right).

Browser Query

Your computer asks a DNS resolver to find the IP address.

Root & TLD Servers

The resolver checks root servers, then top-level servers (like .com).

Authoritative Server

It contacts the server that holds your domain’s records.

Returning the Answer

The resolver sends the IP address back—your browser loads the site.
