Weird situation. Last night around 9 pm the site went down with an error message saying server ip address could not be found. Today I tried on 4 different devices and got same thing. (All other sites work fine.) Then I disabled wifi on my phone and got right in. I chatted with Windstream but they said they don't block any sites and they can't help me.

Any ideas on your end? Am I blocked for some reason? An issue with my IP address?

PS: I tried on the grocery store wifi and it worked fine.

No, Samsung. I tried it on a PC and a Mac, both had the same error. I will research IP issues, thanks for the idea.
 
Cleared "DNS host cache" and it works! I don't even know what that means but I found it using your tip. Thanks Ben.
