Default Importance of DNS

What is the importance of DNS in web hosting? I have a DNS setup for my IP address but I don't know what DNS is for in a website. Is the DNS in the website different or the same with the DNS of the IP address?

The DNS name is essentially the name you type in to get a website. The DNS system is what makes using that name possible so that we don't have to type in each website's IP number to access it.We would access your site with your domain name but not the IP address,help us find your site through the domain name,that is the DNS servers' function.

DNS plays a very significant role in web hosting. It is a key to obtain the resource information on certain domain. It sequentially trace the nameservers (NS) to retrieve data from the web server. Whenever an IP address is reassigned or changed make sure you update your nameservers for your website.

Although DNS is a database, most importantly it is a distributed database. Each DNS server contains only a small part of the host name to IP address mappings. Each DNS server is configured with a special plate that tells the DNS server where it will perform a lookup for records that do not have in their part of the DNS database.

Each DNS server is configured with a special file that indicates that the DNS server (IP address of another DNS server), which searches for documents not done in their part of the DNS database.

DNS stands for 'Domain Name System'. This system is developed for translation of domain names into IP addresses and vice versa. Names which are human friendly like yourdomain.com can be easily readable and remembered by human being but they are not understandable by computers and machines. Computers and Machines use IP address as a reference to any website. When you try to visit a url of a website 'domain.com' in address bar of your browser then it is translated in a IP address allocated to that particular domain, this makes the work easy for computers and machine to identify and produce the desired results to internet users.

What is the main difference then between a webmail and an email from local machine? Can everyone get an email that is not from a webmail? I've used Outlook when I was in college but it was brief. There seems to be no difference between a webmail and an email on Outlook.

Webmail is web based interface whereas Outlook is an email client installed on your local machine. Your hosting company will provide you with webmail access. You can configure your email accounts in an email client and access mails directly from your machine. Hope that helps understand.
