Can't access some websites

Last week I moved my website to a new server ( 90thBristolScouts.org.uk ) and now I can't access it or the webhost ( 34sp.com ) from VirginMedia. I get ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT. I can access them when using mobile data or a VPN.

I've waited a few days for the DNS to propagate and sort its self out but I still can't access the sites.

Here is the tracert to 34sp.com:

Tracing route to 34sp.com [80.82.125.33]
over a maximum of 30 hops:

 17     *        *        *     Request timed out.

Any ideas what could cause it or how to fix it? 

  • Your tracert seems to be getting the correct IP address for 34sp.com

    I'm guessing your packets are being dropped by the hosting's firewall.

    I get this a lot when managing client's websites. Too many requests, too many wrong password attempts, weird HTTP requests can all trigger webhost firewalls to block you.

    Via VM internet we can access both websites : https://90thbristolscouts.org.uk/ and https://www.34sp.com/

    >nslookup 34sp.com
    Server: cache1.service.virginmedia.net
    Address: 194.168.4.100

  • You were correct! I've contact the host and they've removed the block.

    Thanks
