Humans remember names better than they do numbers. Computers can remember numbers easily and can process them faster than names. IP addresses are numbers that indicate the identity of a particular device on any Internet Network. They are written as four decimal numbers separated by periods ("dots"). It would be difficult to remember the IP address for Microsoft's World Wide Web server, but it is easy to remember "www.microsoft.com". The Domain Name Server acts like the white pages of the telephone directory. It maintains a list of network names and their corresponding IP addresses. So the entry for www.microsoft.com would look something like this www.microsoft.com 192.205.171.10 To maintain control of your website, you must maintain control of your DNS. You can check to see if you are the owner of your Domain Name (website), by going to www.wecaredomains.com go to the bottom of the page, click on WHOIS, enter your domain name. If you don't see your email address listed as the Administrative Contact you DO NOT have control of your website, and can lose it at anytime.
