Google Public DNS Service at Lucky IP 8.8.8.8
December 4th, 2009, 6 comments

Today Google launches their new public DNS service, which aims to speed up the time it takes for your browser to find web sites. To use it, set your DNS server address to 8.8.8.8--a lucky IP address, at least in Chinese culture (thx @blam). DNS aficionados already know that OpenDNS has offered a free, distributed DNS service for years. In response to Google Public DNS, OpenDNS founder David Ulevitch says OpenDNS is still a better choice because it offers more options and ways to control your web surfing experience.
