Website not functioning - ISP problems?

[ofirbeigel]

Hey.
My website didn't load today (again). Since I consider VodaHost to be a reliable company I thought maybe it was my ISP that is the problem (my email accounts were down as well).
So I contact a friend from abroad and told him to check the site and it was fine.
Meaning, it was actually my ISP that was the problem (I guess).
How can I check if the ISP is the problem or the hosting is the problem besides asking someone with a different ISP to access the site ?
Is there a program / website that can check these kind of things ?
Thanks.

Re: Website not functioning - ISP problems?

If you do a google search for something like "website proxy", you will get some results of website that offer a service to load a website by proxy. If go to your website through them (by proxy), and it loads then you know either your ISP is blocking it, or the vodahost server is blocking your IP address (this is the most common cause).
