DNS servers

I remember back in the day it was common to remember the IP address of at least one DNS server. This was probably back when I used a modem to connect to the Internet, and you would typically enter the IP address of a DNS server manually. Without at least one valid DNS server you might as well not be connected to the Internet because it's nearly impossible to access any sites. But remembering DNS server's IP address is never easy, they always have what appear to be random addresses.

Well good news. Google offers two public DNS server with very easy to remember IP addresses. They are 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. Hopefully you'll remember this little tidbit of info the next time you need to enter an IP address.
