As you browse the internet maybe you've notice how your fast and steady browsing speed sometimes turn slow. Maybe due to internet connection problem but the main reason is when you type a website's address like www.intechtalk.blogspot.com into your internet browser, that url address needs to be translated into the actual IP address for the computer that hosting the site.
The job of the DNS server is to take the domain name you type in, look it up in the database of IP addresses and then return the correct address to your browser so that the site can be access.You will need to modify registry for this.

Start notepad & enter the following text into it:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\ServicesDnscache\Parameters]
"CacheHashTableBucketSize"=dword:00000001 "CacheHashTableSize"=dword:00000180"MaxCacheEntryTtILimit"=dword:0000fa00 "MaxSOACacheEntryTtILimit"=dword:0000012d

Save this file, naming it dnscache.reg .
Double click on the file in windows explorer & merge it into your registry.

Increase Internet speed by up to 200% : Double click the created file and click yes

And another way to determine the speed while browsing the internet depends on how fast and reliable your DNS server is. In most cases, the DNS server that your ISP (Internet Service Provider) provide is slow. Well, I recommend that change that DNS server and use OpenDNS server.

What is OpenDNS?
OpenDNS provides free alternative DNS server that anyone can use with any internet provider and take note, OpenDNS is fast and reliable.

Here's how you can change your DNS server and use OpenDNS.

First, Click on the "Start" Button and in the search box, type in "ncpa.cpl" and hit Enter.

Next, Right click on your active network connection that you use to connect to the Internet and select Properties. Then on the Networking / General tab, select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and hit Properties.

Increase Internet speed by up to 200% : Local Internet Properties

Next, On the properties screen, select Use the following DNS server addresses and then type in 208.67.222.222 in the preferred and 208.67.220.220 in the alternate boxes.

Put OpenDNS server to your DNS server

And that's it. Start browsing the internet and see a better speed result.
