Hi all,
Whenever a customer tries to login to make a payment from my website, they are getting the following error:
This site can’t be reached
www.live11.paypal.com’s server DNS address could not be found.

Not fixed.
I don't understand why do they not simply redirect the failing www.liveXX.paypal.com DNS addresses to www.paypal.com as this trick is working.
Adding a CNAME takes a minute, so what's the point? A bigger problem like DNS impossible to update?
I also don't get why paypal-status.com says everything is green while we are a lot facing the same problem.

I made it work via the Windows hosts file, editing it with the liveXX hosts pointing to an ip from the www.paypal.com site. This is rather advanced, be warned, but it works if you look up how to edit the windows hosts file then do a DNS lookup for www.paypal.com and insert all the expected liveXX paypal hosts into it :D...
Howto for editing the Windows hosts file: https://support.rackspace.com/how-to/modify-your-hosts-file/
Edit File (use administrator permissions in notebad, save as 'hosts' not 'hosts.txt': \\Windows\system32\drivers\etc

Just wanted to give an update on my end. As of this morning, the subscription button on my site appears to be redirecting correctly and I'm no longer experiencing the problem. Hopefully, it stays this way!
