This is exactly what I have been experiencing. I've tried all sorts of possible solutions which seem to work for a while, then the problem returns.
When I'm getting the "resolving host" message in Chrome, I've opened up a tab & typed CHROME://net-internals, selected the DNS tab & clicked on "view pending lookups". You can then monitor which sites come and go in that list & they're mainly google sites such as clients4.google.com & safebrowsing.google.com. After about 10 minutes, these all get removed from the list, then I reload the sites that have timed out & it's then OK until the next time! You can click on an entry in this list which then displays the code it is running. You see messages such as HOST_RESOLVER_IMR_ATTEMPT_STARTED --> attempt_number n where "n" starts at 1 then increases as each attempt is made. Does any of this make sense?
It may be related but I've looked on Task Manager & noticed amongst the several Chrome.exe processes, one of them is using about 500 Mb of memory & thrashing the CPU. Maybe I should reload Chrome ,however I've also experienced the problem with Internet Explorer when it just hangs until about 10 minutes is up. I've contacted my ISP but they say everything is OK & it's not the router, probably a problem with my PC.
