Oct 21, 2014 10:38 PM in response to drentheby Abhinay,★HelpfulThe only suggestion I have at the moment is to try using different DNS servers to see if the problem is resolved. It's easy enough to switch servers:
Open System Preferences, Network. Click on the Advanced tab, and then select the DNS tab at the top.
In the dialog box that opens, click on the small plus sign at the bottom and add these two servers:
8.8.8.8.
8.8.4.4.
Those are the Google Public DNS servers which generally are faster and more responsive than that of a typical ISP. Let me know if it works for you.

Oct 25, 2014 6:00 AM in response to drentheby Dmitri Shchurov,+1 Safari cannot resolve this address (Yosemite was installed before 10.10.2 is released - no more such mistake)
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH18451?viewlocale=en_US
Chrome opens it with no problems. 8.8.8.8 is set on my router as a primary DNS.
PS I wanted to turn off this f..g auto correction which is suitable for iOS but NOT for Mac OS X

Oct 25, 2014 7:54 PM in response to Abhinayby drenthe,I am running my own (Apple) DNS-server and it appeared that it was not set as my primary DNS. I corrected it and now it appears to be working OK. Thanks for the hint!

Jan 21, 2015 4:56 PM in response to drentheby gormark,My solution: stopped using garbage like Safari (a.k.a. Internet Explorer by Apple), and I use a s real browser instead, Chrome or Firefox. Works like a charm.

May 31, 2015 3:04 AM in response to drentheby aTokdemir,★HelpfulFor this kind of issues there are some Troubleshooting steps;
I assume that google DNS is not working!
You can see this post in 2 way:
1-) To learn all troubleshooting steps for any internet connection issues, skip #2 and keep reading the post till the end.
2-)Go to the end of the post, read the bold places. Try it and if it doesn't work turn #1
First of all Im sure that you tried to open another page, probably it is working. Only a specific page is not working.
What you can do is try to send ping to website. Go to Finder > Go>Utilities > Network Utility> Ping: write here the landing page's URL. Send ping. If it is not working, try the next tab LOOK UP. if you can not get any solutions. Don't give up!
Check safari in other user if working, it means you have user specific problem, turn your user and delete all cookies, caches etc.
If other user doesn't work, system related problem is occurred. Shut your mac down. Restart it and press CMD+R during start up. Here we go , you will see Recovery Partition screen. Click on Get Online Support. Try to hit your website. If yes: There is no DNS or IP related problem, your modem works fine, there is a problem in your Software. Turn on your computer, go to system preferences > network (be sure it seems connected)> Location > " + " new one(name is not important probably you will have untitled 2)> Choose previous one and " - " delete it. > Apply changes. refresh safari. Here you go! it solved mine.
please let us know

Mar 31, 2016 3:45 AM in response to Abhinayby 7721adam,Worked for me I was having issues with a big banks website not finding the server etc but this cleared it upstraight away, after weeks of clearing cookies and caches which made no difference. Thanks a lot :-)))

Apr 23, 2016 7:40 AM in response to drentheby John7707,Simple solution that worked for me after trying some more complicated steps.... Safari was working properly on all devices except one of my MBPs.
Turn Off Wi-Fi on effected device/computer
Unplug Router from power supply (in my case Time Capsule) - wait 30 secs and plug back in.
Once router is up and all lights are green - turn wi-fi back on your effected device/computer.
This is as complicated I want a solution to ever be... I hope it works for you too.

May 14, 2016 4:16 PM in response to drentheby itsmeduoard,I solved this issue by adding the number 75.75.75.75 to the DNS. The culprit DNS does not disappear, but it worked. Anyone having problems with this solution please advice. We are all ears.
Thanks

May 19, 2016 11:42 AM in response to itsmeduoardby Hwy6AandM0,I've had this same issue since upgrading to El Capitan. I'm using Safari 9.1 My Mac gives me the "Safari Can't Find the Server" message for certain websites. Meanwhile my Macbook -- sitting right next to my Mac, on the same DNS and also running Safari 9.1 (but not upgraded to El Capitan) -- opens the website perfectly. What gives?
