Seems like a problem in DNS. Fix this by using OpenDNS or GoogleDNS. I suggest OpenDNS cos it has "Open" in its name. :D

Change the DNS to google dns (Public DNS — Google Developers) or open dns(OpenDNS - Setup Guide) . Follow the guide to add open dns or google dns to your devices .

 

____________

Before you change your DNS settings to use Google Public DNS, be sure to write down the current server addresses or settings on a piece of paper. It is very important that you keep these numbers for backup purposes, in case you need to revert to them at any time.
We also recommend that you print this page, in the event that you encounter a problem and need to refer to these instructions.

Google Public DNS IP addresses

The Google Public DNS IP addresses (IPv4) are as follows:

• 8.8.8.8
• 8.8.4.4

The Google Public DNS IPv6 addresses are as follows:

• 2001:4860:4860::8888
• 2001:4860:4860::8844

You can use either number as your primary or secondary DNS server. You can specify both numbers, but do not specify one number as both primary and secondary.
You can configure Google Public DNS addresses for either IPv4 or IPv6 connections, or both.
