What is DNS monitoring and why is it important

In the digital world, your website is like a house, and visitors access it through an address. But before they reach your doorstep, they need directions—that's where the domain name system (DNS) comes in. It acts like a phone book and translates user-friendly website names (like google.com) into machine-friendly numerical IP addresses. DNS server monitoring checks the health and performance of the DNS servers that translate website addresses into IP addresses.
