When a site stops resolving, what do you check first?

When a domain points to a live website but the site suddenly stops loading, the first question is usually whether it is a DNS issue or a hosting issue.

It could be nameservers, DNS records, CDN settings, SSL, cache, or the server itself.

For people managing domain portfolios or client domains, do you usually check DNS and nameservers first, or start from the hosting side?

Agree with you, Helmuts That’s usually the fastest way.
