The error means your domain name is either unregistered or DNS not pointed yet. To add your site quickly, simply go to your server and edit C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\Hosts file and put this line to the end: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx www.mynewwebsite.com where
xxx is your actual server IP and mynewwebsite.com is your actual domain.

Hi,
Did you check with your hosting provider your domain name A record is
pointing to correct IP Address?.

Hi,
1)Also ping YOURDOMAINNAME from command prompt whether it resolves properly
2) check your domain name have a entry in Domain Name Server
You can http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools to check with the above step.
3) If you bought Domain + Hosting service from same ISP then ask them to check resolving issue.
4)If not get the IP from Hosting Provider and gave it to Domain ISP to pointed the same aginst your
domain name.(By default the domain name will be mapped in the Default DNS of ISP from where you booked the domain)
Hope this helps!!!

hi there,
If you still have not had a domain name, you can simply edit your local HOSTS file to point to an IP address. Please refer to http://faq.asphosthelpdesk.com/article.php?id=43 for details
