    Do you know where your hosts file is?

    C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc

    Put an entry in it like this.
    85.13.221.162 www.hotukdeals.com

    If you have never edited it it will look like this when opened with notepad:
    # Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
#      102.54.94.97     rhino.acme.com          # source server
#       38.25.63.10     x.acme.com              # x client host
# C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
127.0.0.1       localhost

    Now add 
    85.13.221.162 www.hotukdeals.com

    So it looks like this and save it.

    Just went to this site and got this.
    any help?
    http://www.checkdns.net/quickcheck.aspx?domain=hotukdeals.com&detailed=1
    CheckDNS.NET is testing hotukdeals.com

    CheckDNS.NET is asking root servers about authoritative NS for domainLogDebug.GIF Got DNS list for 'hotukdeals.com' from l.gtld-servers.net

    LogNotice.GIF Found NS record: ns1.hotukdeals.com[85.13.207.41], was resolved to IP address by l.gtld-servers.net

    help.GIFLogNotice.GIF Found NS record: ns2.hotukdeals.com[85.13.207.42], was resolved to IP address by l.gtld-servers.net

    help.GIFLogOK.GIF Domain has 2 DNS server(s)

    help.GIFCheckDNS.NET is verifying if NS are alive

    LogError.GIF Error fetching SOA from ns1.hotukdeals.com [85.13.207.41]: Connection reset. Probably DNS server is offline.

    help.GIFLogError.GIF Error fetching SOA from ns2.hotukdeals.com [85.13.207.42]: Connection reset. Probably DNS server is offline.

    help.GIFLogNotice.GIF 0 server(s) are alive

    help.GIFLogError.GIF No DNS servers alive, tests stopped

    help.GIF CheckDNS Quick Check Engine

    Incidentally my ISP is NILDRAM.

    A wild guess, have you denied permission at any time when your firewall asked for confirmation to access a site?
    Move along, nothing to see.

    Sorry but completely off topic, but this page is showing wide, i.e.I can only see half at a time.
    Page 1 of this thread is OK, as is rest of forum.
    Move along, nothing to see.

    Yes but never this one.

    Checked all of the blocked sites and it's not among them, either.
