I can ping my website, but cannot access it. I tried from proxies from 5 countries, but still no luck. What could be happening?

If you can post the site information you will get better answers. Ping only tells you that the server is up and connected to the network, it does not test that a webserver is running, or that connections to that webserver are getting through (firewall issues?) – mfarver Mar 26 '11 at 10:23

also if your pinging the ip and not the name, dns may be the cause. – Sirex Mar 26 '11 at 10:30

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. See the FAQ for guidance on how to improve it.

Can you log in into your server with ssh? That would allow you to check if your webserver is still running. As other commenters said, ping doesn't check that. What OS is the webserver running on?

You can ping the website means, server is up and the service named is also up.

Can you paste the error displayed on the browser?

If you are the admin of the server, you can check the issue by logging in to the server. You need to check whether the webserver is running.

If you are a user you need to contact the support team.
