Google DNS
Google DNS is a free, public Domain Name System (DNS) resolution service provided by Google that translates human-readable domain names (like google.com) into IP addresses (like 142.250.185.78) that computers use to communicate over the internet. It offers fast, secure, and reliable DNS queries, improving browsing speed and security by reducing latency and protecting against DNS-based attacks like spoofing. The service is available globally with servers in multiple locations, ensuring high availability and performance for users worldwide.
Developers should use Google DNS to enhance application performance and security, as it provides low-latency DNS resolution that can speed up web requests and reduce downtime in distributed systems. It's particularly useful for applications requiring reliable internet connectivity, such as web services, APIs, and cloud-based tools, where DNS failures can cause significant disruptions. Additionally, its security features help mitigate threats like DNS cache poisoning, making it a robust choice for production environments.
