I am on a VPS that is pretty much unmanaged so it means im on my own. I did my best to configure it so i can host my own site for other people to see it online but seems like i have network problems because in the last days many of my users report they cant enter my site from my domain and seems like Google and Facebook cant either (this never happened before).

Its weird because i can enter my site without problems and so many other people as well. But then i tried to make a php include and i get this error:

Warning: include(): php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known in

I was told that seems like my server cant resolve domains. The includes work if i use IPs instead of domains. So it means i have a DNS problem or something? What can i do to fix it? Im on a Linux 2.6.32-431.11.2.el6.x86_64 on x86_64 CentOS Linux 6.5

Thank you.

EDIT:

i have this on my resolv.conf

# DNS1=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
# DNS2=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
# DOMAIN=lab.foo.com bar.foo.com


nameserver 8.8.8.8
