Replying to my own post. I was able to access my web site by changing the DNS my browsers use to the Google Public DNS. Still a problem though…why was my router’s chosen DNS blocking my site and how can I ensure that other people will be able to access it using different DNS? Why is there an attitude out here that the Kesug domain is suspect? There are comments in some places…

How recently did you set up the site. It can take up to 72 hours for all DNS providers to get the details

Otherwise it is possible that your isp’s DNS service is blocking to domain

Unfortunately free hosting, especially with free subdomains get abused a lot. InfinityFree is generally good about taking down harmful sites quickly, but some DNS providers and ISPs still see fit to block the entire base domains like kesug.com thinking that they must be inherently harmful. If your router’s DNS resolver was the default one for your ISP, it’s quite possible that that’s what happened.

There’s no guaranteed way to avoid ISP or DNS blocks everywhere, but having a custom domain would help as it wouldn’t have the same reputation problems. This is of course assuming it was a deliberate block and not just DNS propagation like dan mentioned; in my experience Cloudflare’s DNS and Google’s DNS resolvers tend to be faster at accepting DNS changes than my ISP’s default.

Thanks Dan and Edward. The site has been up for over a year, but it was my ISP’s DNS that was blocking it. Thanks for your help.
