Hmm, I'm not so sure. It could also be that the web server is just offline. Have you tried pinging the server or checking its status? Sometimes these tech problems can be as simple as the server having a bad day.

I agree with Olive, it makes sense because the IP address works but not the domain name.

I think the most likely cause is that the DNS entry is not available for the host name.

The most likely cause is that the DNS entry is not available for the host name. I mean, if I can access the site by IP address but not by the domain name, that's got to be a DNS issue, right?

Maybe the DNS entry for the host name is missing or incorrect.

I think you're right, it does sound like a DNS issue.
