# Cannot access new blog

 * I recently created a blog, I still have not fully customized it and I’m still
   new to everything that this entails so I’ve been moving very slowly with getting
   it up and running as everything is very confusing for me.
 * Today I tried to access the admin panel and was not able to because the page 
   states that “this webpage is not available. The server at [http://www.islandwifecitylife.com](http://www.islandwifecitylife.com)
   can’t be found, because the DNS lookup failed. DNS is the network service that
   translates a website’s name to its Internet address. This error is most often
   caused by having no connection to the Internet or a misconfigured network. It
   can also be caused by an unresponsive DNS server or a firewall preventing Google
   Chrome from accessing the network.”
 * The browser that I’m using is Google Chrome but I have tried to open the website
   in Safari and wasn’t able to access it on that either. I was able to access a
   cached version of the website but when I clicked the log in link it took me back
   to the same error page.
 * The theme that I believe I was using was either the default one for this year
   or hemmingway, I was trying to tweek between the two to see what I preferred 
   and I’m actually in the process of purchasing another theme. My domain was set
   up via Hostgator.com and I have very little knowledge on this topic as I just
   created this blog 3 weeks ago so please keep that in mind when assisting me with
   the problem.
 * Thanks in advance to whoever can help me!

 * I would first check with HostGator regarding DNS problems then I would go again
   through all the installation instructions and make sure everything is done properly
   especially in wp-congif.php

 * Hi Michael,
 * I’ll send them a message just to see if they can assist. I installed the website
   using a tutorial on youtube and everything seemed to be coming along good until
   not being able to access it recently.
 * I used an online tutorial to uninstall WordPress via my Hostgator cPanel and 
   reinstalled it using quick install but the problem still wasn’t resolved.
 * I’m contemplating deleting the website and starting again from scratch but I’m
   nervous because I’m not sure if deleting the website will also delete my domain
   name etc. since I’m not too familiar with everything.
 * What do you think?
