My Hosting account is offline. Why am I unable to access my hosting?

Please make sure to include your account username and domain name for your hosting account as well as screenshot of the error you get when you try and access your hosting.
My Hosting account is online. Why am I unable to access my hosting?
If it is online then it is only affecting your connection to your hosting and not other visitors to your website. The most common cause of this is your IP address has been blocked by our firewall. If your IP address has been blocked you will not be able to connect to your hosting from any computers that use the same internet connection. However you will still be able to access your hosting from a different internet connection.
Why has my IP address been blocked by the firewall?
As a security measure our firewall will block your IP address if you have a few failed login attempts trying to log into your hosting account within a short period of time. This protects your hosting from hackers trying to guess your login password. This includes all methods of logins for your hosting including cPanel and e-mail accounts.
You will need to confirm you are using the correct login details for your e-mail accounts before opening an e-mail program such as outlook which attempts to login regularly onto your hosting and can easily cause your IP address to be blocked if using an incorrect password.
How do I get my IP address unblocked?
