To connect to a web site, your browser needs to know the IP address of the site you want to connect to. The domain name (eg. tomahawkcomputers.com) is for you to memorize the site name, computers communicate by using numbers called IP addresses. Your browser seeks the assistance of a DNS server to find the IP address of a given name (eg. www.tomahawkcomputers.com). Normally, DNS servers are run by your ISP. When thousands of users accessing your ISP's DNS server, it takes a noticeable time to get an IP address.
