36How to Change Your DNS Provider in Windows 10/8/7 [Tutorial]
A DNS (Domain Name Service) acts like a phonebook for Internet addresses. It's a networked computer system with a massive database of Internet domain names and their corresponding addresses, which is constantly kept up-to-date.
Most are aware that Google Public DNS has been recently launched. If you wish, you can override the default DNS (Domain Name Server) settings on your Windows computer so you can specify which DNS server is used, or which IP address should be used for a particular domain.
When you make a network request to a domain name (entering google.com in your web browser, for example), your computer needs to know where on the Internet that domain is located. It gets this information from the DNS. Your computer sends a request to the DNS containing the name of the domain, and the DNS responds with that domain's numeric IP address. Your computer then proceeds to connect to that address.
