Blocked off my own website?

[JonnyH]

What do you guys think. I came on my pc tonight after being out, I can't get on my own site, KwiX. I think....gay, it's down. After asking everyone I find out everyone except me can access it. So I just go on random websites, test my speed and it's all fine. I try cmd to ping it and it just times out. I've asked other people on the same ISP in the UK and they're fine aswell. Whats up?

If you visit your website a lot from your home address theres a possibility that the firewall at the dc has blocked you using some frequent access rules .... I can't really think of anything except firewalls or iptables blocking you, I'd get in touch with the datacenter and ask them what the crack is .....

Ask your webhost to see if your IP somehow got blocked

what comes up when go on it

Assuming it's a firewall issue,
If you have dynamic IP, reconnect to internet.
If you have leased IP go find out when the lease expires (cmd -> ipconfig \all) and make sure you're offline when the lease is about to expire.
If you have fully static IP ask your ISP to change it, give them the reason if they're strict on this sort of stuff.

Hope you get access to your site back and make sure you add yourself to the exceptions of the firewall you have so it doesn't happen again.

Nothing at all. It doesn't connect, just times out.

Do this ^

also, you can go into command prompt and type:

ipconfig /flushdns
do this a few times then reboot.

It wont work, i'm on a static IP with a seperate modem. If I reset the modem I get the same IP, I guess i'll have to conact my ISP if it isn't sorted tommorrow.

no no, dhcp is what gives out ip addresses, dns are the servers that resolve hostnames to ip addresses, flushdns will only release your dns server addresses ..... they might change it's not likely to be that though .....

Automatically solved itself. Thanks for the support guys.

I have the same problem, and it happens every once and a blue moon. When it happens to me I can not access my site by any means! FTP, Sharepoint, Direct access via internet or my administrator access panel, from the hosts logon page. I can however get to my site via and alternate link from my Host, and if I use a proxy service.
I also have the issue where other people can get on fine, but every avenue for me to update my own site is blocked. My isp and my Host deny that it is anything on their end. And no one has an answer.

If it's a Windows machine, try ipconfig /flushdns. Check your lmhosts file for rogue entries. And, if those don't fix the problem/are Ok, restart. It's Windows. :)

I would have just used a proxy to login to SSH of my server, Unblocked myself from the firewall...

That happened to me, APF blocked me from my own site. It was quite odd.
