Top 7 DNS Servers That You Should Use When Playing Online Games.
What is a Domain Name System (DNS) Server?
A Domain Name System (DNS) is a directory of the internet. It contains public IP addresses (represented by numbers) and their corresponding domain names (alphabetic addresses). Since users can’t easily remember numeric addresses, the DNS servers translate the domain name that users type in the address bar into its public IP address.
A DNS server uses special protocols and software to communicate with other DNS servers. DNS servers are not equal when it comes to resolving or translating requests. The closer you’re to the servers, the faster you can access a particular site.
Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) has default DNS servers that automatically connect you to the internet. But if you often encounter connection problems, you can use alternative DNS servers for faster loading time, better ping, and enhanced security and privacy.
