"I Can't Access My Website Or Email"
If you can't access your website or email, please check these three things before contacting your support team.
Common reasons you cannot access your website or email:
1. There is a problem with your internet connection
- Try visiting 2 or 3 of your favorite websites. If other websites and this website are all loading ok, then your internet connection is working, please proceed to step 2.
A few links you can click to see if your internet is working (links will open in a new tab):
google.com
microsoft.com
wikipedia.org
- If no websites are loading, try rebooting your modem or wireless router. If issues still persist contact your internet service provider's support.
2. Your domain has expired
If you do have an internet connection, next visit your website and ensure it is loading. If nothing is loading it may be that your domain has expired. Check with your domain name provider where you have purchased and renew your domain. If it is expired, we recommend renewing it as soon as possible to avoid losing it and to restore your services.
3. Your IP address has been blocked by the server firewall
This may have happened for a number of reasons, but it's usually caused by a series of failed login attempts to an email account or your cPanel.
- We have setup a blocked message and unblocking method to appear on your domain or website. This only displays on the connection that is blocked other internet connections will still be able to access your services. Simple check off the Google reCaptcha "I'm not a robot" and this will remove your IP from the block list. Try your email or website again.
- If this doesn't work, we also have a method in your customer portal to check. Log into your customer account at https://myhelpportal.com. Once you log in, the online portal will automatically check the server to see if your IP address is blocked. If it is, it will tell you why your IP was blocked and also remove the block. You should be able to access your website and email again after this. (If there is another IP address you wish to check, follow these steps.)
- If myhelpportal.com does not indicate that your IP address is blocked, then please proceed to step 3.
4. There may be an issue with your hosting account or the server.
- Log into https://myhelpportal.com, you can check to see if there is an issue that we're already aware of. Click Support > Network Status.
- Under Services > My Services > click on your hosting line (not the domain link) and check your hosting disk quota. Sites and email can misbehave if the disk quota is used.
- If there are no open issues listed under the network issues, please let your support team know that you cannot access your website by opening a support ticket.
