all that shows you is that the "internet" cannot find the server that houses your domain.

It could mean that your site is down, the server is down, the DNS servers are down, or even that the server itself is refusing pings.

Usually we use the Ping for a simple check to see if a website is up OR TO See if a computer is connected to the internet.
