Well a month ago I decided to move back to UK hosting from US hosting (Since I'm from the UK) to give me and my friends better speeds but for some reason my network/Internet seems to have a big issue with my websites when they are hosted on UK servers.
My sites will often go off line for a matter of seconds up to a matter or hours, and its just for me. I can access the websites while there down though web proxies, and all my friends I ask can access them fine. My main problem is I get a lot of "The connection has timed out". It is very frustrating when in the middle of coding or blogging it suddenly cuts out. The problem normally happens once I have been on the website along time normally refreshing over 200 times. (hence when testing and fixing bugs.)
When I ping the domains it pings fine and I get a normal 20 ping response, but yet the connection still errors out. I have tried DNS flushing and other alike commands to no success.
The fact that when I had a US hosted site I had no problems shows that it is not my network to blame.
Things to note:
- I am with Virgin Media (M Package)
- On a wireless network
- I have only had the issue when my websites have been hosted on UK based servers.
Anyone had similar experiences or problems of websites just cutting off then working after a few refreshes?
