Sounds like a DNS issue.

Can you go to a command prompt (Start > Run > Cmd) and then type;

ping https://www.greasypalm.co.uk

Did you press <Return> after typing ping https://www.greasypalm.co.uk ?

hinchy

tried it with "enter" and "ok" on run program.( pinged bbc site and got replies)

mparter

So you pinged https://www.bbc.co.uk and got replies but https://www.greasypalm.co.uk returned nothing?

If this is correct then it sounds very much like a DNS/routing issue. What ISP are you with?
