My site can't be reached
Suddenly my site can't be reached, I don't know why and also I don't know how to fix it

I'm going to need some more information:
- How? via web-server?
- Can you ping the domain name/IP address?
- Is your Linode running? Is the web server running?
- Did you install updates recently? Which distro do you use?
Inquiring minds want to know…

Shure Stevewi, sorry if I forgot to write the details.
I'm running a Linode with the one click wordpress configuration, it's running Debian 10 and the unexpected error is, I try to access via web browser my Wordpress site via the domain or Linode IP address I get a Can't reached server.
My domain is sarahquintana.design and the IP address is 96.126.97.222, only the IP can be ping and with my domain gets me a message like this "ping: cannot resolve sarahquintana.design: Unknown host"
Yes, my Linode is running and when I reboot my server, the console apache is running "OK" so… I guess the web server is running.
No, I didn't install updates.
Also in another forum thread ( https://www.linode.com/community/questions/11502/cannot-reach-server )
The person found that his Linode is listening another port, maybe that can be my problem. If it is how can I check the port that my Linode is listening.
I'm grateful of your response.
You write:
only the IP can be ping and with my domain gets me a message like this "ping: cannot resolve sarahquintana.design: Unknown host"
When I tried to query the flavor of your web server, I got:
stevewi:~ $ httptype sarahquintana.design
Warning: Hostname lookup failure: sarahquintana.design
This leads me to believe that DNS is not set up correctly. The IPv4 address you gave "forwards" to the IPv6 address:
stevewi:~ $ dig 96.126.97.222
; <<>> DiG 9.10.6 <<>> 96.126.97.222

That's about all I can tell you. Are you sure you didn't change anything?
