I have a website hosted on Hostinger

However I am experiencing problems with my wordpress site. This is really annoying. If I understood the situation right, The server is blocking me or denying access to my own website.

When I visit the site with google chrome, it returns:

Oops! Google Chrome could not find

Same thing happens to firefox!

Firefox can't find the server

but when I do a check if my site is online and working through http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ it says that the site is working and up.

Another thing, I access the website through a proxy, both on chrome and in firefox, and t works.

Why is this? I have also recently installed the plugin Better Wp Security 5 days ago. Could the plugin have caused it? but I don't remember setting any IP's to be blocked.

Also, this happens at random times, sometimes I can access it, sometimes it fails to reach the server. I am currently developing the site live.

Was I blocked by the server for frequently refreshing the page? (duh, I'm a developer and I need to refresh to see changes.) or is this a problem with my ISP's DNS server? How can I resolve? and what are the possible fixes?

Thanks in advance!

As Robbie mentions, the URL of your site would help, so we could see if we can access it.

You can easily check if its a DNS issue by pinging your site when you cant access it. If your domain name resolves to an IP, then DNS is not at fault.

Better WP security sounds like a likely culprit. Why don't you use your proxy to access your site, and check its settings, or at least disable it temporarily so you can eliminate / isolate the problem.

  • I did, and strangely, it seems to have fixed the problem. I'm not sure what's causing WP security to do such. I have added a lot of custom made PHP. I'm not sure why.. also, I have installed bulletproof security on the way. I think this could be a plugin incompatibility.. Thanks anyway.. – user2128576 Jul 20 '13 at 05:34
