It's working fine here as well. Are you using a proxy to access the site? Known bad IP addresses (and address blocks) that are responsible for a lot of bot traffic and Mechanical Turk spamming are blocked, and will get a 403 return. Some small ISPs (usually discount resellers of other people's bandwidth) are blocked for the same reason.

My site was up again for a short while around 11am-3pm but its down again and i get the forbidden 403 page when i try and log into my wordpress website. Im not sure if my site is up or not but i don't see all of the images thats are supposed to be there event when using proxy, they are missing on the home page and many others. how can i reset the ip address? sorry I'm not very technical in this.

Hi signedll,

It appears that the IP address you are connecting from has been blacklisted by a third-party, as it is a known spamming IP, which is why you are seeing the 403 Forbidden error message. Please could you try restarting your router, and let me know whether you still receive the 403 Forbidden error message? :)

Thank you,
