I got an email on 3-24-2025 (but just found it today in my spam folder on 3-26-2025) that said:
“This email is to notify you your site (epiz_31576195) has used over 50% of its daily hits!”
And this was approximately when I could no longer access my site. This happened once before but the issue was resolved without my input within 24 hours.
I checked all of your pages and Happily It works fine. I think It’s a cache problem. So do the hard refresh. Also If that didn’t work try a different browser
Thanks for all the responses! I’ve had no luck yet in fixing the problem. Here is what I’ve tried:
I went into Debug mode on Chrome and right-clicked on the reload button and selected “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”
Restarted my my router.
Tried Firefox.
Tried my second computer.
Tried a tablet. (It just hung.)
In a Windows Command window running as Administrator entered “ipconfig /flushdns”
Deleted all the cookies for the site.
Right-clicked on the icon to the left of the URL in Chrome. Selected Site Settings. Clicked Reset Permissions (A lot of the drop-down lists show Block and are disabled). [I think I will check my wife’s computer after she gets home to see if the Site Settings are the same.]
I think my next step is to find info on my router and either do something with it via software on my computer or use a paperclip on a button on the router to do a more thorough reset.
P.S. (Probably unrelated) The browsers state my site is “Not Secure”. When searching InfinityFree I came across something that said something along the lines of getting a free SSL. I may want to investigate that.
Does your ISP or DNS resolver have a service that blocks malicious sites? Some of them will block all of InfinityFree’s free subdomains.
You might want to try accessing your website on a different network or while using a VPN. If you can do that successfully, that means it’s definitely an issue related to your network.
Since your error message says the site couldn’t be reached that’s likely unrelated. But it’s a good idea regardless.
Update: I couldn’t find any way to tell my router to stop blocking my sites so I called XFinity(Comcast) which is my ISP. I recall that I had this problem before and they have a website in which you can tell them to unblock certain sites. This worked before. I was on the chat with them for over 2 hours and went through 4 technicians, but I was finally able to submit my request to them. That was 6 days ago and my sites are still not available. I guess I will keep waiting or perhaps submit my request again.
if you cant access your website try using a VPN or a proxy
if you don’t know what a proxy is, a proxy is basically a different browser that uses a different IP address so try to use a VPN/proxy
