[Solved] DNS Server is Not Responding or Unavailable Error on Windows 10

Hello friends, well you all know that using the internet you can access any of the sites across the world-wide. But how it correctly works? The answer is DNS- Domain Name System. Domain Name System is a hierarchical naming system that helps us to translate the address of the website into the IP address. Then you can access the site in your browser via the internet.

For Example, If you want to access our website www.techsmoon.com on your browser, then the DNS server translates the address of this site into IP address.
