Servers, computers and mobile phones access internet through addresses that at called IP-addresses. However, people usually enter domain names (like prodigits.co.uk) when using the Internet. The various DNS (located around the world) is connected to databases containing the IP-addresses of domains in use.

In computers (and some mobile phones) there is two entries (primary and secondary) for DNS servers to be be used when connecting to the Internet.

Websites can be called without using the domain name by entering only IP-address but this will not always work. As an example: if an IP-address is used for five different domains that are served from the same server (or computer) then the server would need to know which one of the five domains you are trying to call. If no domain is called then the server may or may not use one of them as default. * +
