Domain name resolution is a necessity, some providers are better than others that’s the reason why I keep a list of public DNS servers mostly for testing. The list includes the IP addresses for two public DNS providers (Level3 Communications and OpenDNS), use their services at your own discretion.

Level 3 Communications

4.2.2.1
4.2.2.2
4.2.2.3
4.2.2.4
4.2.2.5
4.2.2.6

Google DNS

  8.8.8.8
  8.8.4.4

OpenDNS

208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220

There are more public DNS providers, but I rarely use them.

Found something useful, consider making a small contribution.

   I would suggest you to try Google Public DNS, because of no redirection that can speed up browsing experience, no filtering and no blocking.

   Thank you for reminding me, I forgot to add the Google DNS servers.
