Getting error message "Unable to determine IP address from host name"

  • Unknown's avatar

    I flew into Guatemala today and just tried to both look at my blog (via the URL) as well as trying to log in with my email/password. I get this error message.

    “While trying to retrieve the URL: http://globaldreaming.com/
    The following error was encountered:
    Unable to determine IP address from host name for globaldreaming.com
    The dnsserver returned:
    Name Error: The domain name does not exist.
    This means that:
    The cache was not able to resolve the hostname presented in the URL.
    Check if the address is correct.
    Your cache administrator is webmaster. “

    I am honestly a beginner to blogging and have no idea what is going on. Does it have anything to do with the WiFi I’m using? Did I break something somehow? Help please!! Thanks for any advice you can give.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hi ashleycultra,

    First your site is loading for me so it might be something with your connection there.

    But you should also know that it looks like you are using a self hosted version of WordPress for your site and this forum is for WordPress.com sites support.

    WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

    If you still need help with your site you would need to start a thread at http://wordpress.org/support/ where they support the self hosted version of WordPress.

    They will be able to support you much better there.

    Thank you.
