Some months ago, I wrote a post on DNS server and how it can change your browsing experience. This time I am providing a list of useful DNS servers which you can use to make your internet reliable, faster and safer.

DNS (Domain Name Server) translates the website address from human readable form to an IP address. If your DNS server goes bad then you may receive errors like ‘page cannot be found’, ‘cannot connect to the page’, ‘error timeout’ etc. By using better DNS servers you can reduce these type of glitches.

So how to use DNS servers? For an end user like you and me, we just need to enter an specific IP address in the Preferred DNS Server field in ‘Network Connections’. Open its properties. [See screenshot below]
