My server doesnt start. I get this error in the console:

L 11/02/2018 - 01:11:48: [UPDATER] --- BEGIN ERRORS FROM AUTOMATIC UPDATER ---
L 11/02/2018 - 01:11:48: [UPDATER] Could not download "http://update.sourcemod.net/update/"
L 11/02/2018 - 01:11:48: [UPDATER] Error: Couldn't resolve host 'update.sourcemod.net'
L 11/02/2018 - 01:11:48: [UPDATER] --- END ERRORS FROM AUTOMATIC UPDATER ---

It worked an hour ago, now I restart it and I get this error.

Im also getting these in my console:

Nov 2 01:10:54: PrecacheScriptSound 'phoenix_coop.affirmative01' failed, no such sound script entry

Something is wrong with your DNS, -

As per default, your network (e.g. your router) will be using your ISP's DNS servers to resolve names for you, where local machines will be using then be using your router's internal "forwarder".

Sometimes those DNS servers you use may be overloaded, or they may temporary be out of service (e.g. due to maintenance, where your ISP is working on one of the typical 2-5 servers they provide).

You can try to change the DNS settings on the system running your game server, to use something else, e.g. like the public DNS servers provided either by OpenDNS or Google Public DNS.

Thanks for your answer. I'm using a hosted called dathost. Are you saying it's probably a problem on their side?

Looking at dathost.net, it appears that they only provide game servers (classic GSP "Game Server Provider" style), and not dedicated servers / VPS.

If you can confirm that you are only having a game server (typically administered via a web interface on their website), and not a VPS / Dedicated server where you maintain everything yourself, then yes, the problem will be on DatHost's side (or possibly higher in the chain, e.g. with their upstream provider).
