Error: Failed to download metadata for repo 'EA4': Cannot prepare internal mirrorlist: Curl error (6): Couldn't resolve host name for http://httpupdate.cpanel.net/ea4-c8-x86_64-mirrorlist [Could not resolve host: httpupdate.cpanel.net]

Have you verified that the resolvers are working correctly on the server?

This does indeed sound like a DNS or resolver issue if you aren't able to contact the default mirrors.

My server also failed to update last night with a similar error, resulting in all websites being down.
A reboot of the server got everything back up and running.
