Website wont load (can't be reached)

[KedaRoberson]

Website URL

http://kedarobersoncsis.free.nf/birthday

(I don’t have a home page set up)

Error Message

I get: " This site can’t be reached

Check if there is a typo in kedarobersoncsis.free.nf.
DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN"

Other Information

My site worked flawlessly for weeks until I tried to load it today. I’m taking a college class on PHP, so this is my first time working with server stuff and I have no clue how to fix this. Thank you

Works fine for me

If you’re using windows maybe try opening the cmd and typing

ipconfig /release
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /renew

Then try clearing your browser cache before trying the site again or opening the site in a private window

Oh one more thing , I noticed that you have a backslash in your image path but you need to use a forward slash for web servers

<img src='img\snow.jpg' alt='frosty' />
should be
<img src='img/snow.jpg' alt='frosty' />

Thank you for the quick response. I tried to do everything you suggested but it still came up with the same error. I had three of my friends try it as well on their own devices, different wifi, VPN, and mobile data and they all had the same error. This is a headscratcher and I have no clue as to why it’s working for you but not for anyone else lol

I did get an update that Firefox says: “The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified” and it gave a Secure Connection Failed

If you haven’t installed SSL then your website will not work with a secure https connection and you’ll have to access it via http instead

Im waiting for a SSL to be approved but so far I still don’t know why it will work for some machines and not for others lol. I have tried the HTTP before the URL instead of HTTPS but it still throws the same error

Some machines might have a browser (or browser plugin) or other software installed that attempts to force all web traffic to https and so attempting to view your site via http on these computers will result in an https connection instead which will throw an error as your SSL is still pending

Thank you that made sense to me. I use chrome so I just installed firefox and now I can see my page. Thank you very much. Hopefully the SSL works lol

SSL should work but we’re here if you get stuck
