I think that error code in your post S/B [ 403 ] - if so...

your IP address might be blocked by x10hoting's free-hosting servers
test at --> [ http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ ]

test if your IP address is on a blacklist

get your current IP address at --> [ https://www.whatismyip.com/ ]

then test it at --> [ http://www.stopforumspam.com/search ]

@bdistler: That's a funny macro you've got there about checking IP's However, my own IP has little to do with a server returning a 403. That only hints at a missing default index and also a missing default 404. I've read through some other related posts and that brought me to run a test against my own site, which as of recently has never been associated with spam in any way. Sadly, the shared IP it was assigned by x10 DNS appears on not one, not two, but three black-lists. Hm...

I understand there is always a risk with free hosting, but sure enough there are also plenty of mechanisms to fight back. Sorry if this reads like hijacking someone elses thread, but I'd very much appreciate if either you, or a qualified admin with sufficient rights could have a look into the matter and post back, thank you.

the OP was trying to access his site with a IP address that is on one or more black-list used by x10hosting - for that the server returned a 403 error code
- as it says in the subject line of this thread...
