Wondering why am I writing such a post…….Its really important to be protected, rather than feel frustrated after your account is hacked.

Its very important for you to protect your e-mail account from being hacked……just like you don’t give out your credit card number to anyone that you don’t trust or giving it out to a stranger.

You’d probably be wondering, “what the heck more is needed other than my password…”.

Yes…Password is important, and having a long and complex password is “recommended”, but only a password cannot protect you fully.

GMail has now come up with a 2 step verification process……just in case your account is accessed from a location that Google thinks is “not legitimate”.

Check your Account activity by scrolling down the GMail Page and click on Last Account Activity :: Details

By default, GMail alerts users if their account has been accessed from an Unknown location, but offers no protection unless you complete the 2-step verification.

You need to provide your mobile phone number in order to verify your identity…….and in case of misuse, you phone number is asked along with the verification code, which is sent to you over an SMS or phone call by Google…..

The above action will strengthen your account security.

And….. You must also use the latest version of browser and Operating System must be up-to-date……Also please scan your computer and remove any viruses or malware.

Microsoft Hotmail has been around us for ages and there are many users.

I, for example have been a “Hotmail user” for over 8 years now. I have seen the Hotmail service go through a tough phase when I had a mailbox with only 10 MB space.

Then, the service was renamed to Live Mail and later the things have been improving.

Now, I will be telling you the change that I have loved the most with the new Microsoft Hotmail: its Microsoft SkyDrive

Microsoft SkyDrive enables the user to create Microsoft Office Documents online (or on the cloud….technically).

With SkyDrive, you can create, view, share and download the Microsoft Office Documents, right from your Hotmail Account.

I created a sample Microsoft Word document online and the online editor was just like the Desktop version of Microsoft 2007 editor.It was fairly easy to use and you can download the document you have created as well as you can share it with other users.

Below is the screen-shot of the Microsoft Office Online Document in action from my Hotmail Account:

Microsoft Office in Action via Hotmail

It was a really nice experience to use the Microsoft Office online…….It can be particularly useful when you come across a computer with no Microsoft Office Suite installed. You can use the online service for creating documents, presentations and spreadsheets.

That was my nice experience with Hotmail…..how was yours……tell me via comments…..and I read and reply every comment….

And please don’t even think that I have been paid to promote the service as I am an independent blogger and will say what is true.

Thanks for reading my article on my blog.

DNS servers are the one who connect your computer to the url which you type in to your browser. The DNS servers assigned by the ISP usually have faster response times, but may be slow in the lookup due to high load or due to bad performing servers….

This tool helps you to test which is the best DNS server for you….The tool is knows as DNSBench.

DNS Bench performs a test on predefined nameservers and of-course, you can supply the DNS servers of your choice to be tested.

DNS Bench comprehensively tests all the DNS server and generates a report which can be copied onto clipboard, which can be analyzed later.

We liked the way it tested the DNS servers for reliability and the response time of the servers.

All we can do is recommend this software to you…..DOWNLOAD it for FREE!

You can visit the Official Website >>CLICK HERE<<

In our case too the ISP’s nameservers were fast but were low on caching so we switched onto Google’s DNS Servers.

Primary DNS : 8.8.8.8

Alt. DNS          : 8.8.4.4

Have a Happy time surfing……
