Introducing Google Public DNS

Google have started offering public DNS servers as well. The system, called Google Public DNS, was designed to "make user's web-surfing experiences faster, safer and more reliable".

To use Google Public DNS, change your current DNS servers to the following:

Preferred DNS server: 8.8.8.8
Alternate DNS server: 8.8.4.4

A Google Code page details how to setup the DNS servers to use Google Public DNS servers. Visit the page here.

You can also read a detailed explanation on changing your current DNS servers in one of my earlier posts: Upgrade to OpenDNS.
