Recently, I've been having some issues with a domain name. I set up my domain to point to my server, but every now and then, when attempting to ssh in, I get the error:
ssh: Could not resolve hostname {URL}: nodename nor servname provided, or not known
It isn't consistent, though, and I can't figure what actually causes it to suddenly throw the error. At one point, I was using an SFTP client to manage some server files, and it dropped mid-connection. Then, later, I was using Sequel Pro to connect to my database, and after I closed to connection in SQL Pro, it began throwing the error again.
Attempting to ping the domain returns:
ping: cannot resolve {URL}: Unknown host
But navigating to the domain in a browser has no issues -- loads it up just fine.
If anyone has any insight into what may be happening here, it's greatly appreciated.
