Why is it when I try to excess “ www.villagescomputerplus.com” and “www.villagessciencetechnology.com” I get the message “Server not found”?

I would guess that the hosting server is offline for whatever reason.

The first thing I notoce is that the URL under the links in your post seem wrong. One is:

http://www.villagescomputerplus.xn--com-9o0a/

Not sure why that xn--com-9o0a is there?

Even if I take that out they fail as the DNS for those domains seems broken. The name does not translate to an IP.

This is ugly but informative

dig www.villagescomputerplus.com

I have had this problem for 2 or 3 days. I just checked and have the same problem on 3 computers XP,7&8.

Problem solved, they moved and changed their addresses.
