Google recently introduced this service. You can use this service as resolver for your server.

Login to your server as root

Background current resolver settings:

cp /etc/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf.backup

Open the file using vi:

vi /etc/resolv.conf

Remove the current entries by pressing dd

Put the following lines in the file:

nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4

Save the file and exit (press ).

You are done!

      If you still don’t understand the advantages after reading that then the problem is your own stupidity. Advantages are relative to whatever resolver you are currently using. Potential advantages are speed, reliability, security, impartiality etc.

      Chances are that if you can ask a question in a single sentence then Google has millions of answers for you already. By asking Google you also avoid looking like a lazy moron.
