Don't know which forum to ask this question on but...here it goes...

I have a website which opens on all other networks but it won't open over WiFi at my place, whether I try opening it on PC or mobile.
I can't even access it from Filezilla for making changes.
Also isup shows me that my website is active.

Can anyone help me ???

thanks in advance

The behavior described (site loads from other networks but not on the home Wi‑Fi, and FTP also fails) strongly points to a local-network or ISP-path problem rather than the site itself. 's quick checks about swapping hardware and looking for client-side blocks are sensible first steps; below is a compact, systematic troubleshooting sequence to isolate DNS, routing, or filtering causes.

Compare DNS answers from the problem network vs a known-good network:

# on the home Wi‑Fi
nslookup mridulahuja.com
nslookup mridulahuja.com 8.8.8.8

# on a working network
nslookup mridulahuja.com

If the home resolver returns no record, a wrong IP, or SERVFAIL while the public resolver returns the correct A record, the issue is DNS on the gateway/ISP. Temporarily switching client or gateway DNS to a public resolver will confirm this without changing server settings.

Check path and port-level connectivity next:

# routing
traceroute mridulahuja.com   # mac/linux
tracert mridulahuja.com      # Windows

# simple HTTP check
curl -I http://mridulahuja.com

A traceroute that dies inside the ISP indicates a routing/filtering problem; a complete path but failed HTTP/FTP suggests port filtering or a gateway firewall. FTP failing while HTTP is up often means port blocking (ISP/router). Testing TCP/connect to port 80 and 21 can show this.

Other points to consider: IPv6 mismatch (client prefers an unreachable AAAA address), transparent DNS/filtering on the ISP gateway, or server-side geo/IP blocks that reject the home IP. Server logs will show whether requests from the home IP ever arrive. For safety, document current router settings before changing anything. If diagnostics point into the ISP network, escalate to the ISP with the collected nslookup and traceroute outputs.

i'm not sure what's the problem !
But Try using another router (of your friend for example) in your house and connect, if it's connected then some parametre in your router is the problem, if it's not connected and your internet supplier is the same as the other ones ... then it maybe a problem in your computer try using another browser or check the : C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts . if someone by any chance is blocking it in your computer ...
