10,801 PointsMy site is down, why?
My site was working just fine 3hours ago, and now it's down? I checked my hosting, and it's fine, so why is that my site is down?
Strage thing is that on the favicon there is a 'G', like if that was google.

10,801 PointsI have
This site can’t be reached
The webpage at http://aurelianspodarec.com/ might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address. Search Google for aurelian spodarek ERR_NAME_RESOLUTION_FAILED
And in general my internet is slow as hell. But good to know that at least it's not my fault lol

10,801 Pointslike, I have 10mbs downolading and 5mbs sending, which i used to have worse, but it worked fine, and now every webpage takes ages to load, but my doesn't load. I cleared cached, and all that stuff there, and restarded the computer, tried different browser. Nothing.

Treehouse TeacherIt sounds like there might a problem with your provider's DNS services. Have you tried changing one of the DNS servers to point to Google's 8.8.8.8? It's generally very reliable.
And again, your site is not down. And no, I'm not loading in a cached version of your site.

10,801 PointsIt magically works now. But it wasn't just my site when i look. Though everything is slower than an ant : d and even my skype was logged out, could it be some malware ? or something? The only sites I have been visiting are... you probably know but I didn't install anything bad or whatever.

Treehouse TeacherI still think you should point at least one of your DNS servers to Google's DNS server at 8.8.8.8
I still believe that there was a problem with your provider's DNS server. I don't mean the website host. I mean the place where you're getting your internet from. Their DNS server had a temporary issue. But if you include Google's DNS server as your primary DNS server then it won't matter if that problem happens again with your ISP

10,801 PointsAaaaaaaaa, yess! You must be right! I remember the internet provider, in the building there is some problem. Heck, the building is 47year old lol yes yes, it's probably them. I ment to have a 20mbs internet and i get only 2mbs internet.
I need to call them, this is getting ridiculous, can't do anything : d

10,801 Pointsthank you :)

Treehouse TeacherAs a precaution, you should probably run some anti-malware software just in case. You don't have to actively choose to install malware to get malware. All you have to do is click a link to an infected server

You might look into clearing cache. Using a different dns and using vpn. Sometimes the dns servers fails. That's my two cents.

GL man.
Also try different browsers if you didn't if it don't work on one. Use a different one.

10,801 PointsIs my site still UP? Mine works, but someone else have a problem with my site. So I just want to make sure, if that person may have cached my site, and might clear them out or something. If the site is down on the other end, but works for me, I just want to make sure.
