What happens when a site is not loading at a particular host for me ? ( it is not displaying on my screen..I tried it in firefox and IE. ) I did a tracert and ping....all looks well there, so is it just me..? the packet loss explanation is strange.... especially when it is only that site all other sites from a different host load fine. thanks for any help or comments
Just because tracert works doesnt mean the site is operational. Apache may be down, or firewall problems... It could be many things, you should contact your host.
Have you tried sub-pages other than the home page? What about viewing the site from the ip address? (eg xx.xxx.x.xx/~username/) Have you checked the error logs? If it's a php script choking, the logs should give you a clue.
are there other domains on that server, and can you access those? also, i sometimes use a remote gzip test tool to see if my pages are serving pages ok to another IP (which can help identify if its a connectivity issue with your isp): http://leknor.com/code/gziped.php
