How do I solve a slow DNS problem?

Answer 1

Another thing is to change your internet provider. Some of them have dns servers overloaded permanently.

You can change dns servers for your domain.

Answer 2

Try using another DNS server to route through. That's the quickest/easiest thing to test out. There are many reasons why it could be slow - what tests did you do to confirm it's DNS?

Answer 3

Slow DNS problems are normally temporary, maybe just wait a bit. If not, do what Netkos mentioned and try another one. Google will show you how.

Answer 4

@Bagshot
Exactly. Usually they're short lived, and a lot of the time it isn't even the DNS that you're having problems with.

However, I'd recommend doing trace routes and ping tests to get some more information on it Kevin, and if you want to post that here, we can advise you further. It could be as simple as network congestion on whatever node/port you're on or routing issues taking place on hops further down that you have no control over. Hard to really say without running more tests on it, but changing your DNS server will at least rule it out or help out. Only takes a minute to change it, really simple stuff.

Answer 5

What device or OS are you using? Try here for starters: https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/using

Bear in mind that changing dns isn't necesarrily a magic fix everything button, but I wish you good luck, sir.
