How To Check If a Website Is Down Just For You, or Anyone

Sometimes when we are visiting a website, our browser will return with some unexpected results to tell us that a server is currently down, the webpage cannot be displayed. But, how do you make sure that a particular website is really down for just you, or

Some messages that will be displayed in your browser when we encountered this problem are:
Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage
Most likely causes:
* You are not connected to the Internet.
* The website is encountering problems.
* There might be a typing error in the address.

Failed to Connect
Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at google.com.
Though the site seems valid, the browser was unable to establish a connection.
* Could the site be temporarily unavailable? Try again later.
* Are you unable to browse other sites? Check the computer’s network connection.
* Is your computer or network protected by a firewall or proxy? Incorrect settings can interfere with Web browsing.


Downforeveryoneorjustme.com is a website that can perform this check, as sometimes your website will appear to be down, but actually you it is your DNS or ISP problem, also you are the only person not being able to see it. This site depends on the number of servers they are using, and on their IP diversity performed, so basically it will report the accurate result most of the times.



It’s a very helpful tool for you to check whether server is down for everyone or you have been fooled by your browser setting, your internet connection or that site is banned by someone from your PC. You can bookmark this website for quick access when you need it later.
