Hi @sayeedofficial

Where did you get this domain? Could you please share the lab or video course link so I can check it?

The URL isn’t “down” – it’s not a public DNS address. It is used in some of our labs, such as in our Gitlab CI/CD course, where we use the gitlab.kodekloud.com link for the lab, in the lab’s private network:

root@gitlab ~ ✖ nslookup gitlab.kodekloud.com
Server:         172.25.0.1
Address:        172.25.0.1#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:   gitlab.kodekloud.com
Address: 192.11.55.5
Name:   gitlab.kodekloud.com
Address: 192.11.55.6

This resolves in our lab system, but not in the public internet. So your browser is not able to get that URL to resolve. It’s not a private IP address per se, but if it’s an alias, it’s not something you will know from outside our network.
