You mobile service or home Internet provider may have DNS servers. Once the browser gets the IP address of the computer that hosts the site “it can send a request to that particular computer (server) and retrieve the site/page you asked for. It’s like asking, “Which computer hosts the website ‘’? The DNS server tries to match the domain name to an IP address - a unique address that each connected device is assigned on the Internet. The browser sends a request to a Domain Name Server (DNS), which is like a telephone directory. Most probably, it won’t find it there – unless you have included it there! The browser might check the “hosts” file on your device to see whether there is any information there about “”. It does not know which computer in the world hosts that page or site.
