What does it mean when it says cant resolve hostname?
This error means that the hostname you are trying to connect to cannot be resolved to an IP address. If you have verified that the hostname is correct, there may be a problem with your DNS server (or with your ISP’s DNS server, if you are a standalone user). It may be unable to resolve hostnames to IP addresses.
What does it mean if your domain stops resolving?
If you have just pointed your domain name to us and the domain name is not resolving correctly, it could be due to name server propagation delay. Check if the name server change has fully propagated here. The name server propagation may take up to 24 hours even though the WHOIS update may take only a few minutes.

Can you use the hostname of a server?

How can I resolve my Home Server Name?
