It triggers another set of processes that must be completed before you can view the webpage. Your browser has to understand what you typed to connect to the website.Web browsers do not see web addresses the same way we do.<\/p>\n<p>While humans use a combination of numbers and alphabets, called domain names, to identify websites, browsers rely on number-based IP addresses.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to DNS servers, we do not have to worry about how our computers understand and fetch the information we want so easily. The DNS server works as the Internet&#8217;s interpreter, translating those domain names we type to IP addresses.<\/p>\n<p>Just like traditional language interpreters, DNS servers offer different services. At some point, you may need to change your DNS.<\/p>\n<p>In this article we&#8217;ll talk about changing DNS servers: why you should switch and all the different ways you can do it.<\/p>\n<h2>What Is a DNS Server?<\/h2>\n<p>DNS is short for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cloudflare.com\/learning\/dns\/what-is-dns\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Domain Name System<\/a>. It is a database that matches IP addresses to hostnames (domain names). Every device connected to the Internet is assigned an IP address, which other devices (and web browsers) use to find and connect to it. Since memorizing &#8211; and calling out &#8211; IP addresses is difficult for humans, domain names were introduced to make things easier.<\/p>\n<p>So, each domain name is tied to an IP address, which can be found on the DNS database. <a href=\"https:\/\/aws.amazon.com\/route53\/what-is-dns\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">DNS servers<\/a> host these databases, and there are different servers out there offering different services.<\/p>\n<p>Some DNS servers focus on speed and stability, while others specialize in security and safety.<\/p>\n<h2>Why Should You Change Your DNS Server?<\/h2>\n<p>Sometimes, it&#8217;s difficult to realize you need to change your DNS server. So, let&#8217;s point out what to look out for to know when the time is right.<\/p>\n<p>As mentioned earlier, some DNS servers offer specialized services. So, it depends on what you&#8217;re looking for and how well your current server is working for you.<\/p>\n<p>But how do you know whether something else will work better? Here are some pointers:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Internet speed<\/b>: Some DNS servers resolve domain names faster than others. If you notice that your browser is taking time to load websites when you know for sure that it should be faster, your DNS might be the reason.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Content regulation<\/b>: You can use DNS servers to filter internet content. Some of these services block offensive and inappropriate content so they don&#8217;t load on your website. So, if you&#8217;re looking for a way to block adult content, gambling websites, and offensive internet pages for parental control or discipline, you can change your DNS to achieve that.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Security<\/b>: Some DNS servers can identify and block sites that distribute malicious programs and steal information. If you notice that malware has somehow found its way to your system, it&#8217;s time to think about changing your DNS.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"cta-block cta-block_native top\" data-cta-type=\"native\" data-cta-position=\"top\">\r\n\t<div class=\"cta-block__top\">PRO TIP<\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"cta-block__text_native\">It's important that you use competent malware removal tools like  <a href=\"\/en\/software\/anti-malware\/after-download\/\">Auslogics Anti-Malware<\/a>  to get rid of these malicious applications whenever they make it to your computer.<\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"cta-block__btn-group top\">\r\n        <a class=\"cta-block__download-btn\" href=\"\/en\/software\/anti-malware\/after-download\/\">Download for Free<\/a>\r\n        <a class=\"cta-block__learn-more\" href=\"\/en\/software\/anti-malware\/\">Learn More<\/a>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Internet Connection issues<\/b>: If your browser keeps returning DNS errors, such as &#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/how-to-fix-dns-server-unavailable-error-in-windows-11\/\">Your DNS server might be unavailable<\/a>,&#8221; it&#8217;s time for a change.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Once you change DNS servers Windows 10 and your web applications will go through the new server whenever they want to resolve any hostname.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Change DNS Server on Windows 10<\/h2>\n<p>Now that you know why and when to change your DNS server, it&#8217;s time to show you how to do it on Windows 10.<\/p>\n<p>You can go through your user interface or use the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/windows-command-prompt-28-most-useful-cmd-commands-with-examples\/\">Command Prompt<\/a> to change DNS Windows 10 settings.

My tech obsession began with chasing the smoothest gaming performance possible into various optimization rabbit holes. But that didn't stop me from dipping my toes in different ponds, as I've written for travel, human resources, and digital marketing publications over the past 7 years. I started out with a copywriting agency after pursuing a diploma in computer science. Since then, I've gone freelance, participated in different tech workshops, and found better ways to achieve peak gaming performance. I now enjoy pursuing the latest in computer technology, so I can tell readers when to hold their horses or hop on new trends. I also help people resolve the most frustrating operating system, gaming, and application errors. These experiences and the brilliant folks at Auslogics continue to enrich my articles and deepen my love for computers.

My tech obsession began with chasing the smoothest gaming performance possible into various optimization rabbit holes. But that didn't stop me from dipping my toes in different ponds, as I've written for travel, human resources, and digital marketing publications over the past 7 years. I started out with a copywriting agency after pursuing a diploma in computer science. Since then, I've gone freelance, participated in different tech workshops, and found better ways to achieve peak gaming performance. I now enjoy pursuing the latest in computer technology, so I can tell readers when to hold their horses or hop on new trends. I also help people resolve the most frustrating operating system, gaming, and application errors. These experiences and the brilliant folks at Auslogics continue to enrich my articles and deepen my love for computers. You can reach out and follow me on LinkedIn to learn about the most exciting tech news and solutions when they drop.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/samuel-mbanaso\/"],"knowsAbout":["Gaming","Windows","Sci-Fi","Politics","Android"],"jobTitle":"Tech Writer","worksFor":"Auslogics","url":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/author\/nzube-samuel\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9321","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/77"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9321"}],"version-history":[{"count":19,"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9321\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":103735,"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9321\/revisions\/103735"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/46193"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9321"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9321"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9321"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
