This error can have many causes. It 'possible that the syntax of the same is wrong. In this case you can verify that the URL is entered correctly. Or is it possible that the server (the computer that hosts the site) you're trying to reach is out of order or clogged due to heavy traffic. In these cases you can try again to access the site at a later time. If you browse using a modem and this error continues to occur independently of the address you want to achieve then you have problems with your connection, try to restart it, or contact your Internet service provider.
