It is recommended that you follow the steps in the order presented.
Check that your DNS has fully propagated
If you have just recently set up your hosting account with us, your site DNS records may not have fully propagated yet. It generally takes 24-72 hours for all the root servers around the world to update any changes in your DNS records. If you have a name based hosting account, try pointing to using the IP and username provided in your Welcome Email. If you have an IP based hosting account, try pointing to . Assuming you have uploaded your site files to the server properly, you should be able to see your site. If so, it just means you will have to wait a bit longer for DNS to fully propagate.
Make sure your DNS is configured properly
Ensure that you have properly configured your DNS records in your domain name account. Login to your account at your domain registrar and double-check the nameservers. You can also perform a whois online to check the records attached to your domain.
Try surfing other sites
Try pointing to other sites in your browser. It's entirely possible your ISP is experiencing connectivity problems, in which case the issue is with your Internet connection rather than your site's connectivity.
Ping your site
Try pinging your site. Ping is a program that "bounces" a request off of another computer/server over the internet to see if the remote computer is responding. To ping your site, click and enter command. Click . Then type (where is your actual domain). Hit on your keyboard. The results will show 4 attempts to send a packet to your site. If your site is reachable, it will show no lost packets.
