: Server not found when using 3G/4G I have been battling with an error that presents itself to some of my customers for the best part of 3 months. My hosting provider NameCheap can not fix

I throttled my speed to 2G speeds and didn't get any type of error either.

However, I did notice that the Nameservers you have listed are not valid and the root domain creativelaundry.co.uk doesn't show the subdomain as created either.

Personally i would set up a cloudflare account, change your nameservers and let cloudflare handle your dns. I would assume your nameservers not resolving has a big part to play in your intermittent troubles.
