Error Connection Refused

    On a daily basis I get an ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED message when trying to access my site and WP dashboard.

    The odd thing is that it only happens after I’ve been able to successfully login and see the site and have logged out or closed the dashboard; and it only happens on my work and home devices – external people can still see the site.

    I’ve had my hosting provider look into it and they cannot find any issues. Same with our internal router/firewall at the office.

    I’ve looked through the forums and have seen that others are experiencing similar issues, but I couldn’t find a resolution. The closest I’ve seen is that it could be an issue with my .htaccess file, but I couldn’t see anything there that would be blocking my IP address.

    This is a massively frustrating issue that I’m struggling to resolve. Any suggestions?

    I’ve switched hosting to Media Temple’s managed WP hosting which seems to have fixed the issues.

    I have a feeling that my previous hosting company knew it was their issue, but didn’t know how to resolve it, as every other test pointed in their direction.

    Not sure about accessing your site through localhost though…

    I dont think its my server(also Media Temple) to blame, probably more likely that Im doing something wrong..
    Thanks for the tip though, may come in useful in the future.
