IGXhost Is down
| Posted by windebates, 10-27-2009, 11:36 AM |
Pretty close to two hours now and I am unable to reach my site. Igxhost's home page, their support page or even the network monitor page. Is anyone else having problems?

I am able to reach the IGX site just fine. |

Really? Where are you guys located. I am in Orlando Florida and I can't for the life figure out what the problem is. Multiple browsers, resets of equipment and I can't get ANY of their sites.
Don't mess with proxies much. Can anyone suggest one that I can safely use? Perhaps my cable provider is blocking an IP range? |

Ask if a friend in the area can reach it. |

Did you by chance try to log into FTP with an invalid password, an email account, SSH, cPanel, or anything like that?
I know that some providers will block you from their entire network if they detect a brute force attack (which is what the above mentioned can look like).
It was loading for me no problem. |

Great Mike! Yep. I had a typo in my cpanel but got distracted with something else and closed out my browser. After that I now recall I couldn't access anything. That must be it.
Considering the password being case sensitive that can happen pretty easily. Usually if I get it wrong it takes me directly to the cpanel board sign in. In Windows 7 it gives you a popup box first which sometimes doesn't take the password correctly but it takes you to the Cpanel page and all is well after that. Never had a provider block me from their network for entering a password incorrectly. Now I have to find another Ip address to access from just to get assistance.
Thaks MIke. Kudos. At least its no longer a mystery. Perhaps if companies want to do this someone should come up with an IP identification system. As a paying customer my IP hasn't changed recently and I've logged in with proper identification fromt that Ip address. |

A better idea is not to block somebody from the entire network based upon one instance of bad passwords. I know that here we block you temporarily from the specific service you failed to log in at for 30 minutes and if you get another temporary block in under 2 hours it becomes a permanent system-wide block. |

I believe the issue has been resolved with the client already. His IP was blocked on our system's firewall but is now whitelisted. |
