This topic describes common causes for a website to be inaccessible by its domain name and shows you how to resolve them.
Domain name status issues
Why is my website inaccessible, and how can I check if it's due to an expired domain name?
Cause: Your website is likely inaccessible because the domain name has expired, which suspends its Domain Name System (DNS) resolution.
Solution: Use WHOIS to check your domain name's expiration date. If the domain name has expired, renew it immediately. For more information, see Renew a domain name. Note that after a successful renewal, it typically takes 24 to 48 hours for DNS resolution to be fully restored.
DNS resolution issues
Why is my website still inaccessible after I successfully renewed the domain name?
Cause: This is likely caused by an outdated local DNS cache on your computer or in your browser, which is still storing the old DNS information from before the renewal.
Solution: Try to clear the browser cache or use a different browser.
