Why do we use domain names instead of IP addresses?

An IP address is a unique set of numbers that identifies the server where a website is stored. Since IP addresses are complex and difficult to remember, domain names like www.zoho.com are used as a simpler, human-friendly alternative, with DNS handling the translation between the two. Without DNS, browsers would be unable to translate domain names into IP addresses, making it impossible to access websites by name. Users would have to manually enter the IP address of every website they wish to visit. Learn more.
