Domain Name Servers (DNS) keep track of which website name belongs to which IP number. A DNS service translates a requested web address into the IP address of the server on which the website runs.
DNS is what takes you to Apple (for update download and others), iCloud (syncing, backup and others), Netflix, YouTube, Google and others.
