About 50% of people can't reach my website

    I am having trouble with my website.

    Is the internet having trouble today?

    According to just-ping.com, my website can't be pinged from 22 out of 50 locations.

    It was can't be pinged from 33 of 50 sites.

    In contrast using just-ping.com, only 3 locations can't pinged from digitalpoint.com

    This looks plenty serious.

    What should I do about this?

    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    When some people can reach your site and others can't I would check to see if you're having some DNS related problems.

    Sounds like a idea.

    The thing is sometimes, I can ping my website, and sometimes I can't.

    It comes, and goes.(pinging wise)

    Could it be GoDaddy?
    GoDaddy takes care of my domain name.

    I have definitely had Godaddy nameservers go bad, where I had to reset them, or switch to other Godaddy Nameservers to get my sites working again.

    I was just going to blame GoDaddy, then I got this idea.

    Ping my website IP adress instead of the DNS.

    Used just-ping.com on my IP address, and got about the same result.

    So GoDaddy is off the hook this time. I still might change domain providers.

    Id get rid of GoDaddy all together. They are a domain registar, NOT A WEBHOST!

    I have many servers not hosted with Godaddy, but I also have one with them. I have no problems with it.

    Why would you say they are not a web host when the fact is that they are a webhost. Companies can be involved in more than one business.

    The only ones that are really equipped to properly diagnose and find a fix for the problem would be your web host. I would take the problem and researched results and submit them in a ticket to them and see what response you get.

    Ah just-ping is useless , if you are using spam services like spamhaus,cloudflare etc Most of the IP address are blacklisted there. Don't worry about this. Firewall also stopped to reach them.
