I'm having issues with the hosting of the website and email. I get a general "not connected" on the first attempt after a couple days of inactivity every time. When connecting to the pop server pop.webhost.dynadot.com via Outlook I get a "timed out" error receiving mail. When connecting to the website www.briantaylor.me via Firefox/IE I get a "Page not found" error. The error almost always goes away on the second attempt, but I'd appreciate it if this was resolved.
Task 'pop.webhost.dynadot.com - Receiving' reported error (0x800CCC0F) : 'The connection to the server was interrupted. If this problem continues, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).'
Open Outlook and enter your email address. Then click Continue button to go to the Add Account page.
For Incoming, select your preferred type (POP/IMAP). And enter the IMAP/POP password.
Enable "Show Advanced Settings" toggle. The IMAP Incoming Server should be "webhost.dynadot.com". The port should be 995 for POP and 993 for IMAP.
Make sure the 'Use SSL to connect (recommended)' option is selected.
Enter the SMTP Username and password. Under 'SMTP Outgoing Server' enter 'webhost.dynadot.com' as your server and '587' as the port.
From the ssl dropdown menu, select the 'STARTTLS' option.
Hit the 'Add Account' button to complete your set-up.
Your settings should look similar to what is shown below:

Note: If you already have Outlook set up with another email address, you will need to select "Add an account" option from the earth icon "All Accounts profile" menu before proceeding with the steps above.

Thanks for the suggestions, but I've already tried visiting my site from multiple locations (with different ISPs) with the same result. Also, I've had the timeout in Outlook set to 5 minutes since I setup my email.
Are there any other things that could be causing this?
