Arvixe is the web host. I have had the site set up with no plugins except Powerpress to test it. I am currently adding some plugins back – right now just some very basic ones (broken link checker, etc.)
I find that about half the time when I enter my feed into W3c, I get this:
It looks like this is a web page, not a feed. I looked for a feed associated with this page, but couldn’t find one. Please enter the address of your feed to validate.

<p>Your IP address (128.30.52.88) has been blocked for security reason. Probably your IP address has been used for violation of server security rules before.</p>
<p>We have to make sure that this is not a malicious visit by an automated robot. Filling in the captcha is required to delist you IP address.</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>

128.30.52.88 comes back to MIT, and I saw posts online saying it should be whitelisted because w3c uses it. Not sure why I get that so often when I enter my feed in. Seems random – part of the time I get that, part of the time valid. All other validators other than feedvalidator.org come back valid.
