The server IP address cannot be found on error is one of the most annoying things you may see when trying to visit a website. This issue often occurs in the Google Chrome web browser and is related to the DNS server settings.
The error may occur due to various reasons and also the fixes work differently for different people.
When you open a web browser and launch a website, the browser connects to the DNS (server). This server then converts the website name (www.yourdomain.com) into an IP address. Sometimes this DNS lookup fails and as a result the browser fails to find the server where the requested website is located.
In such cases, Google Chrome throws an error that reads like “Error 105 (net::ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED): The server could not be found”.
