Google announced yesterday that its public Domain Name System (DNS) is now serving an average of 70 billion requests per day. The service first launched in late December of 2009 as an attempt to make the "web faster for everyone." This newest figure puts Google at the top of the list as the world's most popular public DNS service.
Google Public DNS has become particularly popular for our users internationally. Today, about 70 percent of its traffic comes from outside the U.S. We’ve maintained our strong presence in North America, South America and Europe, and beefed up our presence in Asia. We've also added entirely new access points to parts of the world where we previously didn't have Google Public DNS servers, including Australia, India, Japan and Nigeria.
