Internet service Providers (ISP’s)
This is a company that provides you with access to the Internet. Common methods for doing this include phone line also known as a ‘Dial Up’ or a broadband connection either with a cable or DSL.

• Here 's an example of what an IP address might look like:
192.80.0.33
Which a machine then converts to:
• 11000000.1010000.0.100001 (padded out)
The problem with IP addresses is that they are difficult to remember and computers convert them to binary anyway.
A DNS allows you to specify a name for your website to work in conjunction with the IP address thus making web addresses easy to remember.
A DNS simplifies and makes life easier for humans, because it is easier for us to remember Google.co.uk rather than trying to remember 64.233.191.255
