Something that's useful when diagnosing if a problem with accessing a website is at your end or theirs is to use a website called downforeveryoneorjustme.com

Hope you get your internet issues fixed, i'd be getting withdrawal symptoms if i had to go for that long without it!

Have you tried ping and traceroute?

Try the following commands at the command prompt:

ping www.hotukdeals.com
ping 80.64.63.70
tracert 80.64.63.70
route print

Hopefully the output will provide some clues - post it here.

Ooops, I mixed up what you could and couldn't access.

Try using tracert on one of the sites you can't access.
