Answer: Domain Name

A DNS server resolves domain names to IP addresses. It maintains databases that map names to addresses and vice versa. Individual organizations may have their own internal DNS servers for intranets, while large sites like blogsports can have their own DNS to resolve subdomains within their domain. This allows the site to manage subdomain mappings directly rather than updating every external DNS server.
