P.S.: my site on Shared Host Server
Thanks
Mine started doing this a while ago and I assumed it was some kind of routing error, although I could successful connect to google and bing at the time.

In the end I just switched to BWP Google XML Sitemaps and it works much better. Thanks for ur help "okone"
is BWP makes new update in xml sitemap every time i made new post
or should i rebuilt it manually ? i tested ur plugins for 3 days and gave same error
couldn't notify name lookup timed out BWP works by pinging search engines when you post something new. When a spider crawls your site, the sitemap it is rebuilt, hence why I think it is much better than the standard google sitemaps plugin (less load).

It sounds like you are having dns and/or routing issues and the name lookup error is almost certainly dns related. I would try changing the nameservers your server is using (see resolv.conf) or if you don't have root access, raise a ticket with your host.
