This is because your server cannot resolve the repositories and perform the update. What you need to do is check the resolvers set on the server. Check for the file \/etc\/resolv.conf. See if the resolvers are correct and can be connected. Else, update the free resolvers. Example is as below.<\/p>\n

nameserver 8.8.8.8
\nnameserver 4.4.4.4<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

You can opt for our VPS hosting<\/a><\/strong> plan if you want Debian\/Ubuntu installed.<\/p>\n
