Have
you ever wondered why your web browser always hangs when you enter the
wrong URL address? The reason is your web browser keep looking for the
IP address of the URL from the DNS server but the IP address cannot be resolved.
As long as you type in the URL address (e.g. www.google.com), the DNS server will try to resolved it to the actual IP address (e.g. 64.233.181.104). Therefore if your DNS server's respond is low, it takes longer to resolve the IP address and eventually this causes your overall internet connection becomes slower.

Usually people will suggest you to use the Google DNS server (i.e. 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4) as it is
believed the fastest DNS server. Is that true? The Namebench is the software / freeware to tell you to the answer!
- Download Namebench from Namebench Downloads
- Install Windows or MAC version (as per your OS)
- Run the application and you will see the following screen.
Let's
everything to be default (it detects your location automatically). If
the location is not correct, you can change it. Click "Start
Benchmark".
As
you can see from the result, the Google Public DNS is 215% faster than
my default DNS server. That is really awesome. Google rocks!
These are the suggested DNS server that you will need set in your system:
- Primary Server - 8.8.4.4 (Secondary Google Public DNS Server)
- Secondary Server - 202.188.0.133 (Primary Streamyx DNS server)
- Tertiary Server - 202.188.1.5 (Secondary Streamyx DNS server)
Follow the instruction here to change DNS server for your operating system: Changing DNS Server
- For preferred DNS server in Windows, put the suggested primary server by namebench. For alternate DNS server, put the suggested secondary server by namebench.
- If you connect your PC or laptop through both LAN and Wireless network, you need to apply the setting to both network(i.e.Wireless and LAN). Basically you need to apply the setting to each of the network (i.e. wireless, LAN and dial-up connection).

COM he is a sure Hacker the best i know I have personally suffered a fair share of infidelity by my ex wife who had multiple affairs during our marriage. I got a divorce after catching her in the act severally, however I needed extra help to do this so I had to hire a private investigator with the name called ALEXGHACKLORD - Everyone knows that cheating partners are the most sneaky and her phone was always glued to her so I could not have physical access no matter how much I tried. The good thing is that this Private Investigator didn’t even need to physically have my wife’s phone to get in, he hacked the device and diverted all my wife’s messages directly into my phone. He offers any sort of hacking related issues ranging from hacking schools data base, upgrade of grades, IP tracking and monitoring of any social media accounts etc. If you need similar help contact him via the gmail ALEXGHACKLORD @ dot com
