Need help!

Woke up this morning and I can't get to Google, Facebook, my bank website. I can still get to other shortcuts, QVC, HSN, Walmart and Sam's. It's saying "your DNS server might be unavailable". Any suggestions? I am not tech savvy. I just got a message "we're having trouble loading your feed with a picture of the world emblem. My choices are reload or check connection. Any help will be appreciated.

The first things I do when things like this happen is to 1) clear my cookies, history, cache, and 2) turn off the device for a few seconds and then turn it back on.

This isn't always the answer but it seems to solve most of any issues I've ever had.

I have never done that. How and where do I go to do this? Thank you!

Im not tech savvy either but its your DNS server and not your computer. Try turning your server off for about 2 to 3 minutes and turn it back on. If it does not work call your server. They may be having trouble in your area.

@coconut1818, in addition to the foregoing suggestions you could also try doing a dns flush. The instructions for doing so on a Windows 10 PC follows. If you are using a different operating system google the phrase dns flush.

To flush your DNS records on Windows 10, follow the steps below:

Step 1: Click on Start or hit the Windows [logo] key on your keyboard

Step 2: Type "cmd", then select "Run as Administrator" on the right

cmd-admin

Step 3: Type in "ipconfig /flushdns" and hit ENTER

You should get a response that the DNS cache has been flushed.

This means that your cache has been completely cleared, and fresh versions of any website you visit will be loaded.
