From all the threads, it seems like nobody really knows why it happens??

[Isabella]

DNS/web hosting issue?

[Christopher]

it’s not web hosting related, DNS is nothing to do with your server.

probably Google can’t resolve the domain for some reason, it could be registrar, TLD, or nameserver related perhaps

or, it could just be Google being retarded

[Jean]

Op here.

I’m also seeing sometimes:

“Page availability
Page cannot be indexed: URL is unknown to Google”
