Okay, i had switched a while ago to Godaddy as my host for scaredyet.net.
For a while now, if you tried to go there, it would loop endlesslywhen you wnet there, never actually loading the site. I finally got off my ass and emailed them about it. here is how it went.
Me:
I have a strange issue. When i try to go to my domain, the browser hangs. the status bar in IE shows that it is trying to connect to the site, but just sits a flickers. if i try to ping the IP of the site, or by name, i get no replies. is there perhaps something wrong with my account?

Thank you for contacting customer support.
Please ensure you're using the latest version of your browser. You can find the latest version at the browser developer's website.
Also, we recommend the following troubleshooting steps:
1. Update your antivirus software and scan your computer for viruses.
2. Download, install and run an anti-spyware program such as Spybot Search & Destroy or AdAware. You can run a Google (or your favorite search engine) search for these or similar products compatible with your operating system. They are often free, or offer a free trial. Please make sure to keep these applications updated and run them regularly.
3. Go to your operating system developer's website and make sure your OS is updated to the fullest extent.
4. Clear out the cache and cookies in your browser.
5. Restore your privacy and security settings to their defaults.
6. Make sure that any pop-up blockers that you may have running on your system are disabled. Windows XP Service Pack 2 includes a pop-up blocker pre-installed with Internet Explorer. Other browsers (such as Opera and Firefox) may also include integral pop-up blockers. Please refer to the help documentation for your browser for directions on how to disable a pop-up blocker.
If after completing these steps you are still experiencing difficulty, please let us know your browser and version, your specific operating system and version, and the specific errors being received.
Please let us know if we can help you in any other way.
Thank you,
