When i type a website what happens?

When any website is typed into the address bar, it is sent into the Domain Name Server. Or the DNS.The DNS takes a look at the address name and matches it to an IP. Computers see addresses and IPs. For example, http://holycross.bc.ca is matched to 23.45.239.70. Or Sfu.ca’s ip address is 142.58.190.134. The Tracert is the path that is taken to the destination IP address or website. It is the command given that takes a browser to the site and changes with different companies. whenever you type in a certain address it brings u through a series of diffrent sites before getting to your destination.
