Namebench benchmarks available DNS services and provides a personalized comparison to show you which name servers perform the best.
Once you install it, Namebench couldn’t be easier to use. You simply load it up, hit the Start Benchmark button and let it do its thing. Depending on the number of test you run (you can set that), it will come back with the results in a few minutes. The results open in your web browser, showing you the first, second, and third best DNS options right up top. There are also a number of charts and and graphs if you want to drill down into the numbers.
