The internet can be a gold mine of information. As long as you have a stable connection and appropriate device, you can access any content, video, and image that’s posted on the World Wide Web. And while you can possibly remember all the websites you’re planning to visit, the computers or machines you’re going to use won’t. This is when a DNS server should come into the picture. In case you don’t know, a DNS server is actually a system that organizes different web domain names to make them more intelligible, especially for people who want to connect to a specific network. To paint a clearer picture of how beneficial DNS servers are, take note of the following points:

1. DNS servers are essential to the internet.

If you’ve been living most of your life in the digital era, you probably won’t imagine a single day without the internet. More often than not, you’ve become dependent on the internet – from knowing the latest news in your area to communicating with distant friends and family. If you have been enjoying the wonders of the online world, thank the DNS servers. This is the only system in the world that can help you browse the internet. Without DNS servers, the internet wouldn’t exist.

2. DNS servers save you from the trouble of memorizing any IP address.

Every website online has a distinct IP address. Without DNS servers, you will have to memorize all of these IP addresses for you to browse different websites. Can you imagine how stressful it would be if you have to memorize the IP addresses of all of your social media profiles? How about the links of your favorite blogs? Yup, that will probably be time-consuming and daunting.

3. DNS servers enhance your security online.

Everyone can access the internet – students, employees, parents and even seniors can utilize the internet in their daily lives. This accessibility is one of the greatest features of the internet, but on the other hand, it can also be the worst because this accessibility makes it very easy for hackers to steal your personal information. Fortunately, you can still be at ease when using the internet because of DNS servers. This system is designed to increase the security of your home or work network, decreasing your chances of being hacked.

4. DNS servers can improve the speed of your internet.

Having a slow internet connection can delay your progress. Instead of utilizing the internet to get fast answers to your problems, you’ll end up being stressed, and even pissed off, when your internet connection takes too long to load. If you don’t want to experience any of these, opt to use DNS servers. These servers improve the stability and speed of your internet connection by balancing the amount of traffic in your network. DNS servers can move some of the traffic to under-utilized areas of your network, allowing you to be more productive online.

5. DNS servers can provide disaster recovery.

Imagine this: you’re working on a 20-page document for a presentation tomorrow when you suddenly experienced a network failure or error. You can’t continue working on your paper, and you fear that all of your efforts will be worthless. If you’re in this kind of situation, you don’t have to fret because DNS servers can surely help. DNS servers can actually reroute any traffic whenever the network fails during a disaster. This feature makes it easier for you to continue working even when you experienced emergencies.

6. DNS servers have parental controls.

Children are already exposed to the internet. You’ll often see children using different gadgets as their platform for learning, entertainment, and communication. The internet can be a powerful tool for your children’s development. However, as a parent or guardian, you should always put limitations on their internet use. After all, you would never want your children to become the prey of pedophiles or learn violence, right? You can achieve this goal by using DNS servers. This system comes with parental control settings that allow you to block specific websites.

Start Somewhere

Undeniably, the internet is a powerful tool in everybody’s lives. It can help individuals accomplish tasks easier within lesser time. But on the other side of the fence, the internet isn’t all good. It also has several setbacks, namely rendering you prone to identity theft and data breach. This is one of the most obvious reasons why you should know the essential tools associated with the internet – and knowing what DNS servers are is a good start.
