Best free DNS Servers

Post by Saman » Fri Dec 24, 2010 1:39 pm

The DNS protocol is an important part of the web's infrastructure, serving as the Internet's phone book: every time you visit a website, your computer performs a DNS lookup. Complex pages often require multiple DNS lookups before they start loading, so your computer may be performing hundreds of lookups a day.

The most basic task of DNS is to translate hostnames such as robot.lk to IP address such as 97.74.215.115.

This is a list of better, fast public DNS servers and free DNS server (as compare to ISP / DSL / ADSL / cable DNS service providers DNS servers). These dns servers are free to all. These DNS servers usually improve browsing speed and security.

Hi,

Google dns are the most most reliable dns for our site as they are having the most accuracy and the up-time as compared to the another dns servers. I always prefer to use the Google DNS for any site we build.
