What is DNS and which port number is used by DNS?

Answer:

The Domain Name System (DNS) is used to resolve human-readable hostnames like www.golbalguideline.com into machine-readable IP addresses like 69.173.221.64.
DNS servers use UDP port 53 but DNS queries can also use TCP port 53 if the former is not accepted.
