No spamware, no crap, simple settings that Google provides free of service. This is the new Free DNS Service that Google provides. What the hell is DNS?

“The (DNS) Domain Name System serves as the “phone book” for the Internet by translating human-friendly computer hostnames into IP addresses. For example, www.example.com translates to 208.77.188.166.” (taken from wikipedia)

Basically, you type in a domain into your browser. Your browser then searches for that set of numbers (like a phone number) which points to the data. This data is written so that your browser can decode it (HTML).

Currently you use your particular Internet Service Provider’s (ISP) Domain resolution service by default. For me it was Comcast, yours may be Verizon, AT&T – whoever you pay for your internet.

Whats the Difference? In the easiest to explain words: your ISP’s Domain resolution service isnt built for speed, Google’s is.

As with most Google products, its FREE. CLICKY FOR LINKY

A steb-by-step is shown on that page, some technical knowledge is needed.

A simple DNS explanation is here.

If you crave more information, a technical article on the same subject is here.

Thanks to Eric Martin for this.
