When a domain is typed into a browser's address bar, how does the computer know where that domain is on the internet?

Nameservers (DNS can be meant as domain nameservers) are used to identify where a website is on the internet. For example:

1. User wishes to go visit www.syskay.com - requests page to ISP.
2. ISP does know where syskay.com is on the internet. ISP looks at the **WHOIS** information, and finds out a domain's nameservers.
3. The nameservers are asked where the domain is. They return the **IP** to that domain.
4. ISP now has the IP of the domain - webpage is accessed.
