A DNS server is a type of server that stores the phone book for the internet. When you type in the name of a website, your computer contacts a DNS server to lookup the address.

PRO TIP: If you are changing your DNS records with GoDaddy, be aware that it can take up to 48 hours for the changes to propagate. This means that during this time, your website may not be accessible at its new location.

A DNS server can also provide information about the website, like the IP address and the name of the website’s owner.

DNS servers change their records (dns updates) every few hours. This means that if you type in the name of a website and don’t see it in the search results, chances are that the name has been updated and the website is now using a different address.

However, if you type in the name of a website and see it in the search results, it’s likely that the name has not been updated and the website is still using the same address.
