@spycrab @soatok DNS does not have any concept of URLs.
It has a concept of domains and records for that domain.
DNS is basically a shared /etc/hosts file, although there are different record types.
There can be an single A record for IPv4, or multiple on a FQDN; dig A «www.domain.com» or even a not fully qualified domain (without a subdomin); dig A «domain.com»
There is also AAAA records for IPv6 addresses; dig AAAA «www.domain.com»
There's also TXT records; dig TXT «www.domain.com»
and MX records for mail; dig MX «www.domain.com»
CNAME records for mapping domains to other domains; dig CNAME «www.domain.com»
and there's also sometimes CAA records; dig CAA «www.domain.com»
