How to Fix ‘Resolving Host’ Error in Google Chrome ? 5z2u4m

Many a time you may notice a very annoying issue with your chrome browser. Some particular websites cause an issue in loading and show a message at the bottom ‘Resolving Host’. In some cases, the websites load slowly and in many cases, they do not load and show up a message ‘Server DNS Could Not be Found’. 

Today I have come up with few potentially useful solutions to fix this issue of resolving host with your Chrome.

1. Clear DNS Cache of Google Chrome 2i2s1d

This is one of the easiest and most useful fixes to stop the issue of resolving host.

  • Simply visit the URL ‘chrome://net-incternals/#dns‘.
  • Click on Clear Host Cache button next to Host resolver cache.
  • You will notice the websites are working properly.

2. Flush your Outdated DNS 5g3o5d

If your DNS cache is outdated then you have is manually delete it.

  • To do so simply enter;
     Win + R 
  • And type cmd in the search box.
  • Type ipconfig /flushdns, hit Enter.
  • Restart your computer to check the issue.

3. Change Protocol DNS Settings 4r6bx

1. Search ‘na.l‘ in Windows.

2. Look for the option called Internet Protocol Version 4 (T/IPv4).

3. Click on it and click on the Properties button.

4. Now manually use following DNS servers; Preferred DNS server as 8.8.8.8 & Alternate DNS server as 8.8.4.4 (Google’s public DNS) (Set IP as automatic)

5. Restart the browser and check websites.

4. Clear Browsing Data 1b3ev

  • Go to the Setting of your chrome browser.
  • Scroll down and hit on Show Advanced Settings.
  • Under Privacy and click on button Clear Browsing Data.
  • Web sites will start loading.

5. Disable DNS Prediction Services 686j49

  • Simply uncheck the box and restart the browser.

6. Restart the DNS Client 5c2i5d

  • Look for the option named DNS Client.

    This issue is driving me mad! I have followed and tried all the solutions above. However I am still having to clear the DNS resolver cache as often as once every hour! The error drops my internet connection thus disconnecting Skype and any website or people I am working with. I am running Windows 7 on this dektop PC, the issue has only begun over the past few months. It does not seem to affect Windows 10 on my new laptop, yet!

    Surely there must be a permanent solution to this nonsense or does Google know best?

  • Excellent!!! Thank you so much. My issue got fixed after months. Solution 3: Change Protocol DNS Settings worked perfectly for me

    • Cheer :) :)
