Bad Request (invalid Hostname) Website not loading

Recommended Posts

When I go to http://venicemediadistrict.org/ I am getting the following error message: Bad Request (Invalid Hostname)

 

Does this mean that the hosting IP address has changed?

 

Last summer I built a website for a non-profit organization. The hosting and domain accounts are owned by different people.

I am awaiting an email with the login info for the hosting (I already have the domain info), so I can't investigate any further yet.

I was just wondering if anyone has encountered this or knows what might be the cause of the problem. It is hosted on a Godaddy

account.

I think that that error message means that no DNS servers point an IP address to the domain name. It could be a sign that:
1. The domain name has no attributed server with it (the domain isn't set up on any server/not set up properly)
2. It is registered but it isn't parked or being used.
3. That domain is getting wiped off the Internet ;)

I did a WHOIS search for the domain name and came up with this information:

So the domain has been registered for over 2 years and seems to be in use. I don't know what is going on. Perhaps you should contact your domain registrar for more information.

Thanks. Yeah the domain is pointed to the hosting IP (unless the IP has changed).
Maybe I will call them, but I will have to get the account number and pin and everything from the client.
