Which DNS server should i choose? This is the question most of us ask.DNS stands for 'Domain Name System'. The primary job of DNS server is to translate the domain names like Facebook.com or Google.com to IP addresses.You need to choose the best DNS server inorder to get the full advantage from your Internet connection because a site won't load or load slowly unless the DNS server has performed its work successfully.

Majority of the Internet users don't bother about the DNS server addresses and continue to use the DNS server of their ISP (Internet Service Provider) Itself. There are a variety of DNS servers  to choose from, like the Open DNS and Google DNS . one way to find yours is  by typing ipconfig/all  in command prompt. Here is the Google DNS  8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 .Its not necessary to use both,you can use Open DNS as an alternative or vice-versa

How To Choose The Best DNS Server?
You don't need to bang your head in finding the most appropriate one when some good softwares like DNSBench  and NameBench are there. These software s run benchmark tests and shows you the best one.

I recommend DNSBench as its display the results faster.NameBench is also good but comparatively takes more time to complete the test. In order to run the test,double click on the DNSBench icon and under the nameservers tab click on  "Run Benchmark" and wait for a couple of minutes before the results appear.
