Introduction
The pool.ntp.org project is a big virtual cluster of NTP Servers providing reliable easy to use NTP service for millions of clients.
The pool is being used by hundreds of millions of systems around the world. It’s the default “time server” for most of the major Linux distributions and many networked appliances (see information for vendors).
Because of the large number of users we are in need of more servers. If you have a server with a static IP address always available on the internet, please consider adding it to the system.
The project is maintained and developed by Ask Bjørn Hansen and a great group of contributors on the mailing lists. The source code for the system is available.
Pool NTP Servers
| Area: | HostName: |
|---|---|
| Worldwide | pool.ntp.org |
| Asia | asia.pool.ntp.org |
| Europe | europe.pool.ntp.org |
| North America | north-america.pool.ntp.org |
| Oceania | oceania.pool.ntp.org |
| South America | south-america.pool.ntp.org |
In most cases it’s best to use pool.ntp.org to find an NTP server (or 0.pool.ntp.org, 1.pool.ntp.org, etc if you need multiple server names). The system will try finding the closest available servers for you. If you distribute software or equipment that uses NTP, please see our information for vendors.
