Under normal circumstances you don't, but sometimes you might need to identify who really owns a web page or find the IP address corresponding to a URL.

Most people don't have to do it.

It's there for people that work in webhosting and use domain names etc. Mainly used by domain registrars to determine who currently owns a domain and where the nameserver that handles it is operating.

It's similar to a traceroute!
