Most computers that are connected to the Internet do what is called DNS caching..​
This means that domain names and web addresses of the websites you visit​
are stored so that when you visit a page more than once,​
it can load faster because it has been cached..​
​
However, which often be a problem is that the DNS cache​
can sometimes be corrupted and it causes problems like some websites​
that can not be accessed when the internet connection has no problem..​
At this point the DNS flush is needed..​
​
DNS flush will force the computer to clear the DNS cache​
or in other words it forces the computer to erase all memory​
of the domain name and the IP address associated with the domain name..​
Once the DNS cache is empty,​
the computer will start asking for new data from the DNS server​
and it will build DNS cache from the beginning..​
​
If you want to erase the information in this cache,​
it is called flushing the DNS..​
​
