Did you know you can get faster internet by making just one small change on your computer? No fees, no software to download, just one small, simple tweak? Using Google's FREE DNS service instead of your own internet provider's can guarantee you faster page load times and better uptime for your internet.

Take a moment and leave me a comment to let me know how this worked for you!

Google DNS servers:
IPv4 Primary: 8.8.8.8
IPv4 Secondary: 8.8.4.4
IPv6 Primary: 2001:4860:4860::8888
IPv6 Secondary: 2001:4860:4860::8844
