BIND (Berkeley Internet Name Domain) is the most widely used DNS (Domain Name System) server software on the internet. Developed at the University of California, Berkeley, BIND translates domain names into IP addresses, allowing users to access websites using human-readable names instead of numerical IP addresses. BIND is highly configurable, supporting features like DNSSEC (DNS Security Extensions), zone transfers, and caching. It is commonly used by internet service providers, enterprises, and other organizations to manage DNS services. As a critical part of the internet infrastructure, BIND has been continuously updated and maintained to improve security, performance, and scalability.
