A DNS query is like asking for directions to a place, and the DNS records are the source-of-truth for what exists where. DNS records live in authoritative [DNS servers](https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/dns/dns-server-types/) and provide information about a domain, such as the [IP addresses](https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/dns/glossary/what-is-my-ip-address/) of the servers that host the web content and services on that domain. With this information, Internet browsers know where to find a website or app, so they can render it for visitors using [HTTP](https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/ddos/glossary/hypertext-transfer-protocol-http/).
