service provider. DNS server manages a massive database that maps
domain names to IP addresses. Most operating systems and DNS clients
will automatically cache IP Addresses and other DNSresults, this is done
in order to speed up subsequent requests to the same hostname.
Sometimes bad results will be cached which slower down your internet
speed and therefore need to be cleared from the cache in order for you
to communicate with the host correctly.
Flushing the DNS on Windows is an easy process,
Open the command prompt (Start –> Run –> tyep CMD –> Press Enter) and type the following command and hit enter: -
ipconfig /flushdns

pages using dynamic refresh function. So even if your browser window (or
tab) only one you can see, he can actually take bandwidth. The amount
of memory, both RAM and video memory is also related to the amount of
memory Windows will be spent by an open application.
