The Weirdest Hosting Issue ever

So I recently signed up with host gator (black friday deal) and installed word press and pointed the domain name thinking everything was fine.

I tried next to access the blog through the web address and was unable to, so I decided to wait a day for it to propagate.

That was Friday morning so I decided to contact them and the agent on the line told me see was able to access it . She asked me to use a proxy site page wash and I was able to access and log in.

She then suggested a DNS flush and to change my host file (windows); didn't work, some other stuff and it didn't work either.


I ended up calling my ISP and tech support was able to access the site I am was still unable to (without a proxy). They reset the modem and some other stuff but I am still unable to access my own blog but every one else can!

Has this ever happened to anybody else using host gator? Am I missing something??:confused::confused:

    It did happen to me before. My IP was blocked by the system for too many attempts to log in. Turned out it was my email program that had a wrong password in it and was trying over and over to log in, causing the server to believe that I was trying to force my way in. I just had my host unblock my IP and all was good.

      I think you are on to something...

      When I placed the order I think my website was fine however I received an email that said my account was suspended and I needed to verify my billing information; I'm wondering if blocking my IP was part of the suspension?? I get on the line with them right now and figure it out.

      I'll let you know

    It happened to me as well. Hostgator support could see my site but I couldn't. I could see everything as normal like 24 hours later.

      I had the same experience before.

      It turned out to be a delay in propagation.

      At one time I could view my site on the phone and not on the computer. They are connected via different ISPs.

      The problem disappeared a day later. I hope yours does the same.
