I have a confession.

I was strongly encouraged (read: lovingly gaslighted ) into writing this article. At first, I thought, "Why me? Can't someone else do it?"

But looking back... I might actually thank the people who pushed me.

Researching DNS and writing this article taught me far more than simply listening to the tech talk we had on Friday. It forced me to ask questions, connect the dots, and understand what actually happens every time I open a website.

So, if you've ever heard people throw around the term DNS and wondered what all the fuss is about, this one's for you.
