DNS Server Not Responding Explained

What Does DNS Server Not Responding Mean?

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a critical part of the internet, translating domain names (like example.com) into IP addresses that computers can understand. When you receive a "DNS server not responding" error, it means that your device is unable to connect to or receive a response from a DNS server. This can prevent you from accessing websites or other online resources.
