Strange server behaviour, not allowing to add blogspot feed for aggreagtion and gmail

Dear All!
I am a novice webmaster, but managed to handle all issues so far with help of digitalpoint! thanks to all members.

I am into a problem, that google cant answer! .
I have an opensource application (php scipt on shared cpanel linux host, webhostingpad ) working quite well. Its a rss feed aggreagtor/collector appliocation that collects blogspot feeds submitted by user.
All of a sudden, some 50 days back my script suddenly stopped fetching feeds from some 600 blogger blogs added. Not only this, I can not add new rss valid feeds in my site. Additionally a function to import contacts from gmail has also stopped working.

I debug the script, got my server reset, used the new downloaded, untouched code with new database and under new domain .. every possible.. changes. but nothing seems to work on the host account.

Surprisingly, another shared account from the same host.. goes perfectly with the database and script in question.
I thought it to be some server related trouble and had a long ticket list with the support guys and now I am sure, they have done no changes and there is nothing wrong on their part.

How this may happen. Anybody please.. I have been running the site on the main domain, so I cant move it to the other account. Moreover, Its a huge database. Any suggestion, how and what may have caused this. Site and server , is ok at google blacklist.

thanks

 

I have a similar situation when using one particular mobile ISP and connecting to blogger or google friendconnect - NO connection
my guess is simple: my ISP IPs are most likely blocked for repeated abuse on those servers

check other sites on your host, get their IP and see if you find a site on your host with same IP or C-net

if I were a blog owner I would surely block you if I had an opportunity,
adding some 600 blogger blogs to your site looks like you grab their RSS content to convert it into adsense revenue without working and let others to the work for your earning. ...
in my 14+ yrs web publishing life, blogspot.com has become the by far the world's largest source of copyright infringements and all kinds of criminal stuff for easy bucks at the expense of other hard working content creators. and it appears other non blogger sites now do the same and become victim of iptables

 

Dear Hans!!
My site is an aggreagtor and the links are submitted by users themselves. We aggregate just , the title+excerpt+image and with read more.. link. So content theft !! In fact its like driving traffic to their blog with, MOST READ, MOSTLIKED and MOST COMMENTED posts of the day.
ISP- No matter I use any system, be at my office or home or be my users from any other part of the country.

"check other sites on your host, get their IP and see if you find a site on your host with same IP or C-net"- I am on a shared host by webhostingpad. How do I check the these, any site ?

Thanks for your reply !!

 

if you know other sites on your hosting doing same - connecting to blogger
use CLI

host

then you get the IP of that site
in iptables, you normally may get blocked by entire nets - C-net or an entire hosting company's IP range
unless blogs there have a .htaccess file which allows a user to block individual IPs

another possibility to check your own IP is to do a google search just for your IP and see if that IP is blacklisted or known for bad things from earlier time - remember, on a host 1 IP = many sites on same server - up to several hundreds!

ONE site doing bad things, all domains on same IP may pay the price

since blogger is a huge blog farm owned by Google Inc, any iptables based block may remain, there is little chance to have it removed from existing iptables. the damage done by hackers is far more important to prevent than free access by a few millions now and then

a last option would be to ask your host to move your site to a different server, but you need to know what IP range of same hosting is freely accessing the sites you want (blogger) or to change host and get a clean dedicated IP
