  • Hello projutt,

    It seems you have you WordPress installed on localhost there.

    The problem might be in your ISP DNS servers, that for some reason can’t resolve to www.ads-software.com

    You can try changing this and use Google DNS servers. Their IP addresses are 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

    You can check this link on how to change them – https://www.opennicproject.org/configure-your-dns/how-to-change-dns-servers-in-windows-7/

    Another reason for this to happen if you have edit your hosts file, and you added www.ads-software.com for some reason there – https://helpdeskgeek.com/windows-7/windows-7-hosts-file/

    In any way this is most-likely problem with you computer and ISP, than WordPress itself. This is not going to happen on properly configured web host.

    Thanks,
    Ivan

    Hi projutt,

    Then most probably is because of your ISP, DNS servers.
    Did you try changing your DNS servers to
    8.8.8.8
    and
    8.8.4.4

    like advised in the previous post to see if this helps?

    The link is for Windows7 – not sure if you are using this or some other version.
    Can you share what version of Windows you are using?

    Thanks,
    Ivan
