I currently have two websites hosted by Godaddy. They are on two separate hosting accounts. Both hosting plans are the same with the same features. My problem is sometimes one of my websites don't load and sometimes it will load. While my other website loads 99.99% of the time. One difference is that the one that loads 99.99% of the time is my old website. While the one that does not always load is a new website I started about 6 months ago. I don't know what is going on. I was thinking of changing to another hosting company. Any ideas. Thanks.

I am Having the same problem with my GODADDY hosted OScommerce site. Sometimes it loads and most of the time it says unable to load page. Then I wait a few minutes and its there, then its gone again like every few minutes. My other non-oscommerce sites were doing this a few months ago but I never really worried about it till the E-Commerce site started to do it. GoDaddy says nothing is wrong on their side, but If I upload the Site to another host it loads just fine everytime. This problem started after godaddy upgraded to configuration 2.0 I think. I have Uploaded the oscommerce site to an old Godaddy hosting account also running configuration 2.0 and the site loads everytime, but there is no SSl Cert at that address. Go Daddy says they can view the site fine, but I have tried different computers, different browsers (Safari, IE 7, Firefox), and different locations city wide, and I always have the same problem, sometimes the site will be there and work, and sometimes it wont load at all. Go Daddy says it's on my side so they refuse to look into this any further, I think I may just have to switch hosts. If you ask me it has something to do with the shared SSL.

Let's see the two URLs.

I don'y know why people are so secretive. Perhaps they think we have ESP.

I had a similar problem on my website, however it was not refreshing, after I made changes to my site. I talk to my hosting company and they said nothing was wrong. I turned out to be a problem with the ISP something to do with the DNS records on there servers.

 

 

To fix it I added the site address to my hosts file in the C:/WINDOWS/system32/drivers/ect folder on your computer.

 

This should fix your problem.

 

MAKE SURE YOU BACKUP THIS FILE BEFORE CHANGING IT!

 

Cheers,

Alex

Could you explain in more detail how to edit this file.

Open it with notepad

 

The directions are in the file.

Your website is CRE Loaded and not osCommerce - and we don't support CRE Loaded questions here. You need to go to the CRE Forum.

 

However, CRE Loaded is the very definition of "code bloat", and with the templating it uses as well it's not suprising you're having problems.

 

Ignore the post about adding your website url to a 'hosts' file on your PC - that's a load of nonsense. You'd only have a hosts file if you had your PC set up as an offline web server (Intranet) and even then the hosts file only relates to that offline web server and not an online server.
