This is quite a strange issue... I'm not sure what it would be or if anyone has experienced it... it could be quite simple...

I have a reseller host account from a company called EUKHOST.

I currently host around 7 websites and occasionally all of these website, and any other websites hosted by EUKHOST (including their own company website) will be unaccessable, appearing as 'page cannot be displayed.' I cannot access FTP or my email via webmail or SMTP. basically the WHOLE system is down.

Obviously i think its just host downtime so I wait for it to get back up again and continue on my way. But this kept happening often and i was getting quite annoyed. I tested these websites on another computer and I could access them all. No problems.

I could even access them on my phones internet...

So what I want to know is: is there any way my computer could have trouble connecting to websites from a certain host? As this is intermittant and only on this one pc....

Maybe it's just the connection on your pc going down, since you say not only your websites, but also that of the hosting company goes down. Next time it happens check if you can access any website at all.

Maybe the server's firewall is blocking your IP.

Its not the connection as I can still access every other website at the same time, just websites hosted by this one company I cant access.

It could be a firewall issue... but Im not sure why it would be intermittant... the connection to the sites just suddenly drops for 5 minutes then returns. Its not constant...

I will look into an IP/firewall issue though thanks.
