I recommend that  you read both <a href="http://www.techsupportalert.com/content/what-dns-servers-do.htm" target="_blank">What DNS Servers Do</a> and <a href="http://www.techsupportalert.com/content/how-change-dns-server.htm" target="_blank">How to Change DNS Server</a> before you change the DNS servers your system relies upon.Following is list of better, fast public dns servers and free dns server (as compare to your ISP / DSL / ADSL / cable DNS service providers dns servers.) Free Public DNS Servers => Service provider: <a href="http://www.slt.lk/" target="_blank">Sri Lanka Telecom</a>Public dns server address: <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">203.115.0.47</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">203.115.0.46</li> </ul>=> Service provider: <a href="http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/" target="_blank">Google</a>Google public dns server IP address: <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">8.8.8.8</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">8.8.4.4</li> </ul>=> Service provider:<a href="http://www.dnsadvantage.com/" target="_blank">Dnsadvantage</a>Dnsadvantage free dns server list: <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">156.154.70.1</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">156.154.71.1</li> </ul>=> Service provider:<a href="http://www.opendns.com/" target="_blank">OpenDNS</a>OpenDNS free dns server list / IP address: <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">208.67.222.222</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">208.67.220.220</li> </ul>=> Service provider:<a href="http://nortondns.com/" target="_blank">Norton</a>Norton free dns server list / IP address: <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">198.153.192.1</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">198.153.194.1</li> </ul>=> Service provider: GTEI DNS (now Verizon)Public Name server IP address: <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">4.2.2.1</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">4.2.2.2</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">4.2.2.3</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">4.2.2.4</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">4.2.2.5</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">4.2.2.6</li> </ul>=> Service provider: <a href="http://www.scrubit.com/" target="_blank">ScrubIt</a>Public dns server address: <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">67.138.54.100</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">207.225.209.66</li> </ul>Like wise there are quite a few. But now the question is which one is the best suited DNS for me.Well there are free utilities can help you to find the best DNS servers  for your system.These benchmarking programs use their databases of DNS  servers to test those that will give you the best improvement. The best  performance is likely to be from from a mixture of DNS servers that are  close to your location and a global DNS server that has a large  database. These programs are portable (run without installation), use  similar methods and provide similar results. Their reporting is very  different so I recommend that you try both NameBench and DNS Benchmark.Gibson Research Corporation <a href="http://www.techsupportalert.com/content/how-find-best-dns-server.htm#DNSBenchmark" target="_blank">DNS Benchmark</a> is  the program I prefer. It is a little more complex but provides a lot of  documentation and help for each step. It does preview the servers that  will be tested before you run the actual benchmark. It is a Windows  program that also runs in Windows emulation (Wine) for Mac OS X and  Linux.1. Download & Install it on your PC (164kb)2. Click on "Run Benchmark"3. Then let the program to create for you the custom DNS list (this may take several minutes).4. There you have it (check out the attachment).....pick the DNS with the best repose time which is the best DNS for you.<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-7Tr5XbXtrpE/T1H4yUS4RgI/AAAAAAAAAD4/bl8jyyyYcaw/s640/DNSBenchmark.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Changing your DNS servers on your local PC for a FASTER Browsing experience.5. Now go to Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections\Local Area Connection and open connection properties.<img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-veZG4aZFGtY/T1H9dXM9y4I/AAAAAAAAAEA/qIPBOM4wH1c/s474/Untitled.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />6. Locate to "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)" and select  properties and define your top two IP addresses found with best response  time as follows.7. Now click "OK" to apply changes, you're done!!<img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-cZ6_y1xrjus/T1H_SA5UfuI/AAAAAAAAAEI/6-2_1rHGxYk/s461/Untitleddsfdf.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Now don't bother calling your ISP  provider's custom care for finding out the preferred DNS for you here  after as they often change their IP addresses.Cheers!</blockquote>
