# cannot install update

 * I tried to update the latest version, but get the following error:
 * `Bijwerken mislukt: Download failed. cURL error 6: Could not resolve host: downloads.
   wordpress.org`
 * On another site that is hosted elsewhere, the update went fine. Could it have
   to do with some settings at the hosting provider? That’s the only thing I can
   think of, as both websites are more or less the same as to the theme and plugins
   I used.
 * Can anyone help me find the solution?

 * Yep, that’s a general DNS issue with your hosting provider.
 * Check [this related topic](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/download-failed-could-not-resolve-host-downloadswordpressorg/)
   and contact your host.
