DNS Problem...

[The Conqueror]

Hi All!
I have been facing problems recently ,Most websites do not resolve and i have to refresh 8-9 Times to make it resolve and load. Only the Thinkdigit and Google Apps work fine .
I am using BSNL H750 Plan but I had not faced this issue before.
Please recommend me any good DNS.Also how is OpenDNS?

It is Recommended to change DNS Only when either you are getting less browsing speed than normal OR the sites are not loading,ie not resolving.
Which OS Do you use ? The steps are different for each OS

Above all, the DNS makes it possible to assign domain names to organizations independent of the physical routing hierarchy represented by the numerical IP address. Because of this, hyperlinks and Internet contact information can remain the same, whatever the current IP routing arrangements may be, and can take a human-readable form (such as "example.com"). These Internet names are easier to remember than the IP address 208.77.188.166. People take advantage of this when they recite meaningful URLs and e-mail addresses without caring how the machine will actually locate them.

The Domain Name System distributes the responsibility for assigning domain names and mapping them to IP networks by allowing an authoritative name server for each domain to keep track of its own changes, avoiding the need for a central register to be continually consulted and updated.

Welcome
As I said Earlier, Changing the DNS is only required if you are experiencing that the sites do not Open or you are getting slow speeds than usual.

And switching to a more secure nameserver if your current one isn't. See http://www.doxpara.com/ for one.

Nice Site.
So which is the Most Secure DNS Name Server?

[mehulved]

OpenDNS is secure from this vulnerability. I prefer to use my own local DNS server for many reasons thus am unaware of other options around.
