=== Genesis Radio – DNS Access Troubleshooting Guide ===
If you’re having trouble loading Genesis Radio or our stream won’t connect, the issue might be your DNS provider. DNS is what turns domain names like genesis-radio.net into the actual IP address of the server.
Some Internet Service Providers (ISPs) use outdated or unreliable DNS servers, which can cause:
– The site or stream not to load
– Security errors
– Inability to resolve certain subdomains (like stream.genesis-radio.net)

>> STILL NOT WORKING?

– See if the domain resolves to an IP address from your region
– If you’re still having trouble, contact us and let us know which DNS provider you’re using

>> WHY THIS HAPPENS
Many ISPs use DNS servers that:
– Don’t update often
– Fail to propagate changes correctly
– Have internal blocks or caching issues
Switching to Google or Cloudflare DNS usually solves the issue instantly.
