DNS servers are the one who connect your computer to the url which you type in to your browser. The DNS servers assigned by the ISP usually have faster response times, but may be slow in the lookup due to high load or due to bad performing servers….

This tool helps you to test which is the best DNS server for you….The tool is knows as DNSBench.

DNS Bench performs a test on predefined nameservers and of-course, you can supply the DNS servers of your choice to be tested.

DNS Bench comprehensively tests all the DNS server and generates a report which can be copied onto clipboard, which can be analyzed later.

We liked the way it tested the DNS servers for reliability and the response time of the servers.

All we can do is recommend this software to you…..DOWNLOAD it for FREE!

In our case too the ISP’s nameservers were fast but were low on caching so we switched onto Google’s DNS Servers.

Primary DNS : 8.8.8.8

Alt. DNS          : 8.8.4.4

Have a Happy time surfing……

We have already seen OpenDNS, a free DNS service which is fast and reliable and here is another name which speaks of reliability….Yes its Google.

Google’s DNS servers claim that they resolve DNS queries quicker to provide a faster browsing experience.

Google has introduced a free DNS service, but it does not provide any customization and filtering as OpenDNS does.

The IP addresses of Google DNS Servers are:

Primary DNS    8.8.8.8
Secondary DNS    8.8.4.4

Some people confuse it with Level3 DNS servers because the IP range of Google’s DNS servers fall within the IP address rangle allocated to Level3 Communications.

But Google runs its servers themselves and says that users will be protected by DoS Attacks (Denial of Service) which sometimes happen through DNS servers. Also Google claims that the servers are fast and are located at many places around the world which provides fast access to users in many countries.

I must remind you that changing your DNS servers DOES NOT MEAN faster DOWNLOAD SPEEDS.

If you want to use Google DNS servers, simply point your connections Primary and secondary DNS servers to the one which have been given above.

A detailed guide is given in my earlier post on how to use OpenDNS servers for better browsing experience.

Its very important for you to get whatever you want using search engines available on the internet.

The search engines now allow you to search a vast variety of Media like images, books, and audio and video.

So its the Keywords (the words entered by you for searching) that are very important which give you the results and the content that you need.

Let’s take an Example:
If you want to know about viruses – in computers then the most probable keyword that you may enter is **virus**.
But keep in fact that a *virus* is also in the world of computers as well as in Biology, so you will receive results of both computer and the biological virus.
Hence, it is very important to apply just a little thought befor entering the keywords for your search query so that you waste both your time and money.

Some search engines also allow you to narrow your search by offering you advanced options for searching…..But since many-a-times the average computer user doesn’t use it…..It can yield very good reults….

So for everyday use, just think a little at the back of your mind before enering you keywords for searching and explore the web in a better way….

Happy Searching….
