Namebench: DNS Benchmarking tools from Google
Last week, Google take one step closer to world domination by introducing Google Public DNS. No fancy ads or whatsoever, just plain state change your DNS to easily remember number 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4.
I have got mixed feeling with this announcement, as I am Google user (using GMail, Contact and Calendar) and I am also a OpenDNS user and even use the OpenDNS Dashboard to manage all the internet activity (as I am the owner of 2 cybercafes).
So I have to test this Google Public DNS and want to know the result. namebench a tool from google will do the test and pick up the best dns for you. I dont know and don’t have the time to check the algorithm (maybe google is cheating, who knows).
Currently I am using a Time Dot Com DNS and namebench result said that Google Public DNS is 9% faster than current dns(time).
So lets see the charts.
So, now I have to change my DNS to Google Public DNS. :) Any visitors want to comment or having a different result. please comment below.
