Free Fast Public DNS Servers List

The most basic task of DNS is to translate hostnames such as theos.in to IP address such as 74.86.49.131. In very
simple terms, it can be compared to a phone book. DNS also has other important use such as email routing.

This is my list of better, fast public dns servers and free dns server (as compare to your ISP / DSL / ADSL /
cable DNS service providers dns servers). These dns servers are free to all. I was able to improve my browsing
speed with following DNS servers. Use any one of the following provider.

Free Public DNS Server

Service provider: Google

8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4

Service provider: ScrubIt

Public dns server address:

I just did a test with over 150 name lookups to a large number of known public DNS servers. I tested both
cached and uncached as well as invalid domains. Your results may vary, but this is what I found.

Free Fast Public DNS Servers List http://theos.in/windows-xp/free-fast-public-dns-server-list/

Google’s DNS server where among the slowest in the group. Lookups took almost twice as long to resolve
as OpenDNS.

OpenDNS servers led the pack. In fact there was only one group of DNS servers that were faster.

Time Warner Telecomm has the fasted servers hands down.

64.129.67.101
64.129.67.102
64.129.67.103

I use OpenDNS because I have a paid account and use the multiple tracked networks and the dashboard. I
also use customized branded search pages for the invalid lookups and content filtering for the Ad networks
and Phishing.

If you don’t want or need these advanced features and you just want standard errors returned for invalid
lookups, Time Warner does not mess with the responses and would make an excellent choice.

Correct;

Time Warner Telecomm has the fasted servers hands down.

64.129.67.101
64.129.67.102
64.129.67.103

I have tried these on my servers and i think they offer the best result so far.

you all need to go to http://www.grc.com and download a free program called DNS Benchmark which will
test for the fastest free DNS available. Free DNS speeds and their reliability vary daily. A fast one today
might be a slow one tomorrow. A live one today might be dead tomorrow. And so on.
I use DNS Benchmark once per week, sometimes more if my computer starts to act slow. It is usually the
DNS.

Scrub-it is not fast(I have said in my previous post that Scrub-it was that for that moment)

You want to check out ScrubIt before adding them to your list. They filter out domains linked to
pornography etc. according to their site. If you’re writing about public dns services you may want to
mention that so that everyone can make an informed decision. I’m not too hot on Chinese democracy via
DNS.

Anyone using free dns or any other free/pay service should be reading the Terms/Use policy. It’s not
the responsibility of the OP to do so.
If they came here stupid, you can bet they’ll be leaving just as stupid.
Sad, but true.

Pinging Time Warner Telecomm servers led to the following results (where most others vary from 9 to
25ms)
64.129.67.101 4 * time-out
64.129.67.102 2 * time-out avg time success: 124ms
64.129.67.103 3 * time-out time success: 144ms

Thanks for all info, made me aware of the improvement attainable.
