Website Hosting error: took too long to respond - wordpress

I developed a wordpress website on localhost but when trying to host the website i get this error. www.medina.com took too long to respond.
Search Google for medina 8080. Any idea why this is happening?
I have edited my wp_options to the site url.

For running your website on local machine you need to use IP Address, your request is something like that
http://YourIPAddress:PortNo
If you want to use your own HostName, For that you need to put a entry in host file.

How to access website using hostname instead of ip address?

I am working on a wordpress website and I'm unable to access my website using the host-name. [However, I'm able to access my website through the ip address. For example, when I enter 10.20.0.18, I'm directed to 10.20.0.18/wp-admin/plugins.php]
I am new to hosting and I was just able to update my hosts file and properly link the ip address to hostname by reading through some articles.
I also checked these links are correct using ping command.
For example, my hosts file looks something like this,
#Host file starts here
127.0.0.1 localhost
10.20.0.18 www.webserver.abc.com
66.155.40.202 api.wordpress.org
#End of host file
Now, when I try to access the website using hostname through my web browser, I get this error.
This site can’t be reached www.webserver.abc’s server IP address could not be found.
I am not sure where I am going wrong, or do I need to make some more changes in other files?

Local host WordPress website URL changed not able to revert back

I wanted to test my localhost WordPress website on a mobile device on my local network, So I changed my website URL and Site URL to http://192.168.1.3.8888 (wifi IP: Mamp apache port) previously it was http://localhost:8888/wordpress, Now I am unable to access the site from own pc with the new or the old URL.
I think in the new URL I used a '.' instead of a ': ' between the wifi IP and Port number can somebody help to revert the changes I have made or make this work.
Thanks!
Open phpmyadmin or another mysql db manager
Browse your website's wp_options table.
You will see 2 related rows there called "siteurl", and "home".
Fix them to correct address.
That's all.
You can replace or export data using Wp Migrate DB.
Easy to replace any url in your current database without lose any data or serialization issue.
Changing the Site URL multiple ways.
net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
Change your post 8888 to 80 in site & home url.
Its best to run of port 80 though instead of 8888.

Amazon Web Services - EC2: How do I stop my WordPress site showing the ip address as the domain?

I am close to tearing my hair out on this issue as I just cannot seem to get my Wordpress site to not read the Amaazon Public IP address.
I have a domain name in GoDaddy and have changed a host record so that my domain name "http://example.com" redirects to "http://0.0.0.0".
However once this page loads, the url quickly changes back to the Public IP address.
I have tried changing the Site URL in the Wordpress Settings but this just breaks the site and does not allow me to log in.
What is it I am doing wrong? I just cant figure it out. I just want the domain name from goDaddy to appear as the URL.
Thanks.
First of all attach the Elastic IP to your EC2 Instance so it wont change public IP after you shutdown and restart your machine. Make A Record in your Godaddy DNS Record File that points to the elastic IP.
You have not changed the base URL of your wordpress thats why it is still redirecting to the old Base URL. Connect to your EC2 instance and edit wp-config.php add the following line of code
define('WP_HOME','http://example.com');
define('WP_SITEURL','http://example.com');

Subdomain throwing error 404 to few customers.

I have my website http://www.mouryadandu.com which is hosted on photo shelter. I recently build a blog and wanted to host it on a separate hosting service. I already was having a multi site hosting service plan and decided to use add on domain to connect my blog. I have pointed the blog.mouryadandu.com subdomain to the server. The DNS propagation took few days but I was finally able to access the blog and successfully modify. Now when I share it, some people across the world are complaning they are seeing error 404 Page not Found. I also when share it on Facebook, its throwing error 404 instead of pulling the image. But for majority it seems not a problem , but I don't want this issue once the blog becomes permanent. I have a feeling there is something wrong with DNS settings, but when I ask my host, they say things are fine at their end. Does anyone have solution for this ?
It looks like your blog host has both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses:
blog.mouryadandu.com. 3600 IN CNAME cpanel17.fozzy.com.
cpanel17.fozzy.com. 14400 IN A 78.140.140.207
cpanel17.fozzy.com. 14400 IN AAAA 2a00:1178:1:43:4::11
When accessing via the 78.140.140.207 address (IPv4), I see your blog just fine. When accessing it via the 2a00:1178:1:43:4::11 address (IPv6), I get the cPanel redirect page (I assume this is the 404 people have been running into).
This is almost certainly a configuration error on the blog host. Can you try enabling IPv6 via cPanel (https://documentation.cpanel.net/display/ALD/Enable+IPv6)?

Getting site running in IIS 7 Issues

This is driving me nuts. I am trying to setup a webiste on our dev server with a specific url name www.mystpidsite.com as an example. mystupidsite is not the same name as the dev server.
1) specify a specific url to use for the website I create in IIS
2) run it and use that url to access it
I have:
1) created a new site in IIS 7 in Server 2008
2) attempted to access it via the site name which I set to the desired url and port 8888. So if we want it to be www.mystupidsite.com I setup the website name to mystupidsite in IIS 7.
3) I even tried to create an application under mystupidsite with the same name in IIS 7.
The server is definitely accessible and pingable on the network from my local PC, we have other stuff installed on this new server. Do I need to create an application or is just creating the website enough in IIS 7? I specified the IP as the server's IP in the website I made.
For the host name in the bindings of the site I put www.mystupidsite.com
when I try to access the site via www.mystupidsite.com it can't find it and the site in IIS7 on the dev server is running. It's running on a HyperV instance which is our dev server. Everything else has worked just fine. I just wnat to understand how to get a specific url by name setup.
Do I need to add something in the hosts file on the server or something?
You're not going to be able to have a site on your dev box answer to both the mystpidsite.com and mystupidsite.com domain names.
Unless you have the domains registered and have your domain's nameserver directing that name to your dev machine, IIS is only going to answer to requests either the machine name on the network or the IP address of your machine (in addition to 127.0.0.1 and localhost).
The only thing you're going to be able to do outside that scenario is set up two sites on two different ports on your machine and access them from http://localhost:80 and http://localhost:8888 (or network computer name equivalent).
you need to have an entry in dns to be able to hit the server when using www.mystupidsite.com
Because you have the site running on an alternate port you should be able to get to it by http://your-server-IP-address:8888
If you want to test it locally using the host name and do not have access to dns you can add the appropriate entries to the hosts file on your local machine (c:\windows\system 32\drivers\etc\hosts)
What happens when you type 'nslookup www.mystupidsite.com'? Do you get the IP address of the virtual server?
Do you have the windows firewall enabled on the server? if so, did you add an exception for port 8888?
add a default binding (no host header / blank) and try accessing it by IP
