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.

    What are the nameservers you are using? If there is more than one, try querying each of them with the host name in question: `dig example.com @ns1.yourprovider.com` – Halfgaar Feb 01 '15 at 20:25
