If your website is not running then there may be one of these below given reasons:

  1. Your domain is not pointing to correct nameservers : Your domain should point to the correct nameservers provided by your hosting service provider. Like if you have taken our FREE hosting plan then your domain should point to our these nameservers :
    Nameserver 1: Free3.HostGuy.com

    Nameserver 2: Free4.HostGuy.com

    If you have taken paid hosting plan from us, then kindly check nameservers details given in your "Hosting Account Information" mail under your "My Emails" section in your client area.
  2. Domain nameserver propagation time : If you have already changed your nameservers then you have to wait for the propagation time which depends on your ISP (Internet Service Provider), it can take 4-48hrs. You can also check whether it has been propogated or not through: https://www.whatsmydns.net/#NS
  3. Domain is Expired : Kindly check whether your domain is expired or not. If it is expired than renew it.
