news.aioe.org = web.aioe.org = 94.75.214.39

They all point to the same destination although using hostnames involved
the extra task of a DNS lookup. Your client does not use hostnames. A
DNS lookup is required to get the IP address. Humans like names,
computers demand numbers. If news.aioe.org does not work then neither
will web.aioe.org. As yet, the OP gave no details on what "do not see
any way that I can access" means. If it is a DNS lookup failure on the
"news" hostname but the DNS succeeds on the "web" hostname then the OP
will have to address the issue with whomever is their DNS provider.

So you realise its a news server not a web page then? Progress.

You did not give a solution to the OP's problem. If the OP cannot
"access" news.aioe.org then they also cannot access web.aioe.org.

A rose by any other name would still be ... just as dead.
