Strange question re: trouble viewing specific site

[Broni]

I'm thinking, it may be some DNS issue with a server.
Pinging IP works, but you can't go to the site, using numeric address.
Numeric address is not being translated to regular address.

If you Google www.hockey4hope.org there are no hits, plenty for www.hockey4hope.com though.
Is this a legit thing Crystal?

Did you check the cached .org page Broni?
Now Crystal is MIA.

[Broni]

Cached pages work for me as well.
Can you access that site through Google link?

[Fed]

I tried every which way for the main site, no good but did get to the Google cached site.

As I said, I think it may be some issue with the server, but I'm going to bed anyway....hehehe

hockey4hope.org does not work for me; using Opera browser.  hockey4hope.com does work.  However, it's much more than a simple one-page site, which is how the OP described her site.  So, we seem to have some contradictory facts here.  A strange case ...

Not MIA, just otherwise occupied.

I have no problem getting to the site through Opera, Safari, Google Chrome, IE, or firefox (all tried on Mac and PC). Other than the two people I originally mentioned, no one (that I know at least) has this problem. And if I can't duplicate the error, just like you can't duplicate the error, I can't fix it. That's why I came here, I was hoping someone could look at it and help me figure something out.

And yes, it's a real site. And yes, it is the .org, not the .com

I'm going to ask again about the OS, ISP and browser. Last time I asked the only answer I got was "Sprint Wireless". Not sure about the second person.

Here is what I get as DNS results on the server side of things -

I'm not experienced with this side of things so I'm not sure if this identifies the problem or not, but I thought the more info I could provide the better.

I just tried to view the site in IE; it didn't work.  So, I'm quite sure I can not view it regardless of what browser I try.

Are you affiliated with http://www.hockey4hope.com?  http://www.hockey4hope.com already exists and is much more than a single-page website and it is a charity-oriented website.  So, why are you developing http://www.hockey4hope.org ? 

[crystaldb23237]

Not that the reasoning behind the site is an issue, but they are different charities. I am only affiliated in the sense that I am the web-designer (and I handle the maintenance of the site). And I know for a fact that just because there is another charity with the same (similar) name, and a .com website with the same address as my .org has nothing to do with why only 2 people can't see the site when everyone else can.

And I don't have a problem viewing the site in IE, on a Mac or PC. I'm really confused by this problem.

[crystaldb23237]

Ok, more research

the site does not have a dedicated IP address, but none of my sites do since everything is on the same server, which is my server.

Not sure if this helps or explains anything but it's still more info to work with.

[kpac]

It must be something on your end (i.e. server). I can't access it either, just get a Server Not Found error.

[crystaldb23237]

If that's the case why can 90% of people see it and only a handful having a problem? And why can no one have a problem seeing the other sites that are also on that server?

Check and see if you can get to some of the others -
