Stands for Domain Name Server, and when you type an address like www.subsim.com, your computer doesn't know what www.subsim.com is, so it goes out and queries the DNS server and asks the actual address. The DNS server would then return an address of http://207.44.214.111 so it knows where to go. Names like www.subsim.com are only for your benefit so you can remember where to go to find web sites, but your computer has no idea what that means and really needs to know the actual IP address to find it.

PS. WOuld this judge rule that I hacked something by posting subsim's IP address? She probably would - idiot.
