Unknown host.
This means that the domain name wwwlenglishexpert.com no longer maps to an IP address; that is to say it is off the internet. This can happen while a site is transferred to another hosting provider, and normally takes 48 hours, though some hosting providers refuse to transfer the domain as a kind of blackmail.
If it's still offline in a couple of days the most likely explanation is that the guy running it hasn't paid the hosting provider.
Incidentally if you have difficutly getting to a site run the command prompt tin W2000 or WinXP and the MSDOS prompt in Win9* and type
ping www.domain.com
for example and hit enter. If you get a timed out message you can see where the blockage comes from by typing
tracert www.domain.com
instead. |
