I've tried several of my favorite sites and they are down right now, including Amazon.
Freerepublic and facebook are up, however.
OK, I’m lost.
Unless that also comes with crab rangoon and eggrolls on the side.
That’s why I only type “DuckDuckGo” into Google.
All those figures are extrapolation based on a relatively small cross section of websites.
Just so you know.
It's not a place you go, as in putting it in your address bar. It's what you put in your router for primary DNS (Domain Name Server). DNS decodes text (Whatever.com) into the numeric address the Internet needs. If the name server your router is using gets corrupted or goes down, you can switch to a different DNS or use the website numeric address directly if you know it.
If there's a website that is mission critical to you, it's a good idea to know the numeric address in case you can't find a working DNS, such as might occur during a cyberattack aimed at DNS servers.
What does that do?
My I/T work was mainly not PC, but rather banking / insurance type medium and large systems.
Thanks
Thank you for taking the time to explain.
