OK, this may just be me but would the nice techies @ MWEB really block access to a site ie. "www.feralhosting.com" ? Cause i can access it on my iPad through MTN, but on my MWEB 4meg uncapped account I get:

This webpage is not available
The connection to ***********.************.feralhosting.com was interrupted.
Here are some suggestions:
Reload this webpage later.
Check your Internet connection. Restart any router, modem, or other network devices you may be using.
Add Google Chrome as a permitted program in your firewall's or antivirus software's settings. If it is already a permitted program, try deleting it from the list of permitted programs and adding it again.
If you use a proxy server, check your proxy settings or contact your network administrator to make sure the proxy server is working. If you don't believe you should be using a proxy server, adjust your proxy settings: Go to the wrench menu > Settings > Show advanced settings... > Change proxy settings... > LAN Settings and deselect the "Use a proxy server for your LAN" checkbox.
Error 101 (net::ERR_CONNECTION_RESET): The connection was reset.

Would they really go as far as to block me???

Hi Savvoh

We are not blocking the site. I tested this on our test pc and the site loads fine there.

Is there any way you can test ito n another pc to see if the same thing is happening?
 
I can get onto Feralhosting fine. I can even login without issues.
 
We take your word for it :P

It's obviously not affecting everyone on the network. I just tried again and it's not loading a thing, so it's down for some of us on mweb.
 
Seems to be back up and running. It was def just on MWEB when i changed to AfriHost i could access it from the same PC.

But anyways..

Thanks for the comments.
