Improve Your Internet Using Speed Using Open DNS

DNS is the acronym of Domain Name Servers. When you surf any website in your web browser, the first request goes to your local host. If your local host is offline by some reason then you won't be able to surf the internet. In this whole process it may take long time to open the website. To overcome this, you can change your DNS to a free and reliable server called Open DNS. Just follow the steps below and you are done.
