Primary DNS and Secondary DNS

• DNS means Domain Name Server it translates domain names to IP addresses.
• We can type domain names into the browser and access them, instead of their IP addresses which are the real server-side names of the websites.
• Primary DNS and Secondary DNS are DNS servers, they are generally applied to each newly registered domain.
• The record of domain name is stored in server computers.
• Information is identical on both DNS servers.





• The two DNS values are usually configured by our ISP or hosting provider and given to you as a very important part of your domain registration order details.
• Internet service that translates domain names into IP addresses.
For example: the domain name www.google.com translate into IP-74.125.224.72
• The secondary DNS acts as backup for the primary DNS in case the primary DNS doesnot work.
