If for any reason you cannot point to your site in your web browser,
here is a list of things you can do to troubleshoot the problem. It is
recommended that you follow the steps in the order presented.
Try surfing other sites
Try pointing to other
sites in your browser. It's entirely possible your ISP is experiencing
connectivity problems, in which case the issue is with your Internet
connection rather than your site's connectivity.
Ask a friend to point to your site
Ask a
friend (who preferably uses a different ISP than you) to try pointing to
the site. It will be a good indication as to whether the problem is with
your connection or your ISP.
Check our Network
Status Page
Point your browser to our Network Status Page.
The URL is listed in the table at the top of this page. You will be able
to check the state of health of our entire network.
Do a traceroute
Perform a traceroute on your
site. A traceroute is a utility which allows you to literally trace your
connection to a server/computer. It measures the time it takes to reach
each point needed for the connection. There are many online tools which
will allow you to perform the traceroute. Alternatively, you can do it
yourself. To traceroute your site, click Start>Run and enter command. Click OK. Then type tracert
yoursite.com (where yoursite.com
is your actual domain). Hit Enter on your
keyboard. The results will show you the number of hops between your local
computer and your site server. It can give you a good indication of any
connectivity disruption along the way.
Send in
a support ticket
If all else fails, send in a support ticket
to our Help Desk. The URL for our Help Desk is listed in the table at the
top of this page.
Call us by
telephone
Call us by telephone so that we may assist you in
finding the source of the problem. Our telephone number is listed in the
table at the top of this
page.
