Slow servers can result in websites loading slowly, and if the server assigned to you goes down, you might essentially have no real internet connection at all.īy jumping to a free and public DNS server, you’ll experience a much smaller chance of technical issues as well as much more responsive browsing. However, since it’s being assigned to you by your ISP, it’s not always the best choice available. If you don’t have your own server, you’ll be assigned one every time you go online.
If you’re new to DNS servers, the DNS or Domain Name System is a protocol or system that will take the domain names that you enter into a browser and translate them into the IP addresses needed to access those particular websites.
