The issue seems to be ISP level since others in your city can access the site and your checks ruled out most blacklists and DMCA blocks so adding Cloudflare is a good next step to bypass potential DNS or routing restrictions

I will. Right now the guy i think who did this ranks #1 and i rank #2 on the same keywords but he has 8 other sites on page one. If I pass him and take page one he is so obsessively crazy i think he will go ape s$^$ and exhibit unprofessional behavior more than his normal state of being.

That’s an interesting case it definitely sounds like an ISP-level or regional block rather than a hosting issue. I’d suggest checking with tools like MXToolbox or MultiRBL to see if your domain or IP got flagged. Also, try rotating your DNS through Cloudflare; sometimes it clears regional filtering if the issue is tied to your current IP range. Keep an eye on your firewall or CDN logs they can reveal if any U.S. ISPs are blocking traffic.

I need to do some googling and add some of these features you mentioned. I was looking into rate limiting this morning. In the 24 hour period since i added cloudflare I have received 5 spikes ranging from 97 to 297 within a hour i guess to the *single* page under attack. Of course the non ranking pages not being hit.


I think* i spoke to a guy a at&t and he mentioned they may have updated the servers which interupted things. After this crash I had 2 issues that I had to resolve DNS local level and the ssl certificates were jacked up as well.

Sounds like a geo-block or network-level issue rather than hosting. Try checking your site’s status on tools like Down for Everyone or Just Me and IntoDNS. You can also run a traceroute from a U.S. proxy or VPN to see where it drops. If it’s ISP-based blocking, reach out to your host or Cloudflare to review logs and request delisting.
