My ISP say they dont block great-site.net but I can assure you that they do.
but it could be that your IP is in a range that is blocked due to suspicous activity. Like i said, thats something Admin will need to look at for you

Could you please check if my site (vali.wuaze.com) is blocked by your ISP?
We do have systems in place that detects abuse from networks to block individual IP addresses. And there are mechanisms in place that āroll upā the blocks to the network range level if many IPs within the same network are causing abuse.
But we donāt do anything as ridiculous as geo-blocking entire countries or regions.
I cannot check blocked IP addresses myself but I have sent a request upstream to check if your IP address may be blocked.

Virgin media (in the uk) donāt block that one. But that doesnāt mean that others donāt block it.
BTW, Iām not blindly trusting AI, it is just a logical conclusion about analyzing a few simple facts: I cannot access my site, dan3008āsite and Sajidtestās site, with different IPs. To think my ISP is blocking all these IPs instead of InfinityFree blocking my IP is not a logical conclusion.
ISPās do often block free hosting domains. IF that is the case, and its not that your ISP is in a range blocked as above, then they probably block it by domain (so *.wuaze.com and *.great-site.net ect)

It generally isnāt your ISP blocking InfinityFreeās IP addresses, but blocking the entire domain names that the free subdomains are on. If theyāre blocking great-site.net for example, then any subdomain of .great-site.net wonāt work. There are also more intermediaries that could be blocking it- your DNS resolver for example could be as well. This is evidenced by the fact that the IP address your website resolved to on your end is not correct (all of InfinityFreeās IP addresses are in a single range).

And they decided to do so all of a sudden a few days ago when before that everything was working fine?
Maybe thereās another detail I didnāt specify here: it started happening while I was working on my web site and did a few coding mistakes in my php that caused a lot of traffic because of an infinite loop.
It happens. Block lists are updated all the time.
It is possible that the infinite loop triggered the security block. the infinite loop could have caused traffic that looked like an attack or attempt to overload the server.
Admin is looking into if your IP has been blocked and will let you know soon enough

I think they were testing against great-site.net or one of the other reseller domains. That IP address is an iFastNet premium hosting IP address, and specifically the one used to part the reseller base domains.
That does make everything a bit more puzzling though, because it would suggest that the connection to premium hosting IPs is blocked too, which are in an entirely different network.
As far as I know, the system that blocks bad IPs on free hosting is only on free hosting, not premium hosting, which also makes it more surprising.

Just to confirm, your IP address (the one found from your recent login history) was indeed blocked on our hosting. That block has been removed and you should be able to access your website now.

Thank you! I hope everyone participating in this discussion had something to learn.
