Can't connect to website - Not sure why.

Over the last few days I have been quite busy working on my new website. Everything was going great till around 10:00 PM Chicago time today. It was then that the website simply started to refuse to load any page such as the homepage, forums, or anything else.

I know that there are "limits" built into the free accounts, but I seriously doubt that's the cause. One of them relates to the amount of times you can access the website (2000 I think) in a single day, but I should have been nowhere near that limit. I also have not use the email client more than three time - so that’s not an issue… I'm not sure if 000webhost only is looking at the number of pages viewed - IE: like viewing the website in Internet Explorer, or as a total of any action done to the site including FTP transfers... etc.

I checked my 000webhost account and email to see if I actually had a flag on my account, but I see no flags indicating that my website has been put on hold. In the CPanel, I can play around with the configuration settings, and nothing seems to be blocked/inaccessible as of now.

I can also log into my FTP Client and download files from the site - so my IP can communicate with the server the files are being hosted on.

I'm not sure what to do here. Hopefully the issue will clear itself up overnight, but just for my own reference, have you guys had issues like this before? And if so, what did you guys do to fix it?

The website in question...
www.wrightairlines.org
Hosted on Server 12.

Thanks,
Eric

It's working fine now, it could be that there was a problem with the server. As for the 2,000 connections limit: It will include any ftp connections.

After looking at the clock and the number of times I uploaded files, perhaps I hit the limit...

Proxy server connections to my website work just fine. I think my IP was blocked for the next 24 hours...

Oh well, live and learn I guess.

However, shouldn't there be a custom error message or something? I find it odd that the webpage continues to try to load rather than jumping to an error page.

That would mean everyone jumping to the error page, it only affects you.
