The DNS makes it possible to assign domain names in a meaningful way to Internet resources as well as to users, regardless of the entity's location. As a result, the WWW hyperlinks (World Wide Web) will remain consistent, even in the case of using a mobile device. Due to the fact that the Internet domain names are easier for humans to keep track of than [[IP addresses]], this is an important advantage for the user because the computer will locate the [[URL]]s or even e-mail addresses the users may be looking for.

Coordination across the Internet is maintained by means of a complex authoritative root system known as the [[TLD|Top Level Domain]], as well as the DNS  and other smaller name servers responsible for hosting individual domain information. For each domain, the DNS spreads the responsibility by mapping the domain names and assigning them into IP addresses, and vice-versa. This is accomplished through authoritative name servers which are being designated for each domain. Each authoritative name server is responsible for its own particular domain, while having the authority to assign new authoritative name servers to any  of their sub-domains. The DNS is able to store many types of information, even the mail server lists for a specific domain. In order to ensure the functionality of the Internet, the DNS is a core element through its distributed keyword-based redirection service.
