Is this web down

this web site cannot be accessed en español

Web pages are not eternal and for many reasons can remain inaccessible temporarily or permanently. In one of those moments we may need to access, being impossible to do it “in a normal way”. Therefore, we are going to review the different ways we have to access a website when it is not working or is down and we need to enter.

However, nothing disappears completely from the Internet. That warning to users about uploading photos or personal content to the Internet is true. Something that “is” a few seconds on a social network, a forum or any website, is difficult to erase completely, there is always a trace.

The Internet itself offers us two alternatives so that we can access web pages that do not work at the moment we need to access them. It should be noted that, although we can view the websites, their content will not be updated and some links may not work properly.

However, we will be able to access the active version when we save a copy. If it is a site with few updates, this should not matter. But, for example, if we try to access a news website, we can see that the most updated content is days or weeks old.

One of the reasons why the “Unable to access this website” error is so frustrating is that Chrome may not be clear on what is causing it. In addition, the message can appear alongside a wide range of error codes.

In this section, we are going to explain five methods (from the least to the most complicated) of fixing the “Cannot access this website” error. Let’s start with the simplest solution, which is to check the connection.

Since restarting the connection usually takes only a minute or two, this is the first solution you should try. Most Internet Service Providers (ISPs) recommend unplugging the power cable from the router and waiting a full minute before plugging it back in. Once it is turned back on, wait for the Internet connection to re-establish and then try to access the website again.

In many cases, the firewall built into your operating system (OS) – or whatever software you use – can aggressively block sites and prevent your computer from establishing a connection to them. The easiest way to find out if this is the problem is to temporarily disable your firewall and anti-virus software, and try visiting the site again.

The domain you are visiting requires HTTPS access, but does not have an SSL certificate installed, this usually happens with webmail access or when you have an application installed on your website that forces the browser to use SSL without having it installed, if it is your own website that is affected, this does not pose a security threat, to continue you can click on Advanced and proceed. Antivirus can also generate this error.

Remember that you should only have one A record on the main domain, having more than one can cause problems on your website. You should also not have a CNAME record at the same time as an A record.

For your website to be shown on the Internet, you must have an index file in the root folder of your hosting plan, this file must have a valid extension for the Internet according to how the website has been developed (example: index.html, index.php, index.htm, index.aspmx etc).

If you use a CMS to develop your website (Example: WordPress, Joomla, Prestashop etc) you can enable debug mode, here are some examples:Enable debug/debug mode in WordPress:WP_DEBUG is a PHP constant (a permanent global variable) that when set to true activates the “debug” mode in WordPress. Its default value is false and the recommended file to set its value is wp-config.php (located at the root of the site) in one of the following ways:
