How To Fix Google Chrome Showing Wrong Websites Name Error?

To fix the "ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED" error in Google Chrome, which indicates that the browser couldn't find the IP address associated with the website's domain, try the following steps:

  1. Flush DNS cache:

    • On Windows: Open Command Prompt, then type ipconfig /flushdns and press Enter.
    • On macOS or Linux: Open Terminal and use corresponding commands for your system.
  2. Clear browser cache:

    • In Chrome, go to Settings > Privacy and security > Clear browsing data. Choose a time range (select All time), check Browsing history, Cookies and other site data, and Cached images and files options, and then click Clear data.
  3. Disable preloading pages:

    • In Chrome, type chrome://flags in the address bar, search for "Prefetch Resources," and disable the option.
  4. Check DNS settings:

    • For Windows, open Network Connections, find your current connection, and select Properties.
    • Double-click on Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) (or Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6)), and enter Google's DNS server IP addresses, such as 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4.
  5. Check antivirus or firewall:

    • Temporarily disable your antivirus software and firewall to see if they're interfering. If the error disappears, adjust the settings or switch to another solution.
  6. Scan for malware:

    • Perform a malware scan of your system to check if the error is caused by malicious software.
  7. Check for outdated software:

    • Make sure you have the latest Chrome version, and that Windows and your operating system are updated.
  8. Contact site owner:

    • If the error persists, contact the site's owner to confirm the issue isn't on their side.

These methods should help diagnose and often resolve the "ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED" error in Chrome. If the problem persists, consider contacting your Internet Service Provider or the site owner for further assistance.
