Suddenly today, my website that was set up following the instructions through Treehouse, stopped working. I have had the site up since June. When I try to open a connection through Cyberduck, I get the following error message: "Connection Failed DNS lookup for www.drew-a-website.com failed. DNS is the network service that translates a server name to its internet address. The error is most often caused by having no connection to the internet of a misconfigured network. It can also be caused by an unresponsive DNS server or firewall preventing access to the network."
I obviously have an internet connection, otherwise I couldn't post this question. I tried flushing my DNS. I uploaded the latest version of Cyberduck, restarted my computer... none of that worked. I don't know how to check for the other items listed in the error message.
When I key in my log in credentials on Cyberduck in an effort to open the connection, the little yellow triangle with an "!" inside doesn't go away. It is just below the port number.
Someone please help! I am at a complete loss as to what to do next.
