1. Luckily I came across this free tool the other day:
http://www.yougetsig...-on-web-server/
Type in your website, and click "Check". It will take a few minutes, but it will give you a list of all the websites being hosted from the same server as yours. This tool is completely free, it will not charge you. Try a few and see if you can connect normally and quickly.
If you get a lot of errors or most of the websites you try don't work, try talking to your hosting company again. It's possible that their firewall is singling your IP address out.
2. You could also check the obvious problem, which is that either the server is not performing, or your web page is malfunctioning. Pingdom offers some useful free tools:
http://www.pingdom.com/
They offer a free account which will track one website. Once setup, you will be able to see graphics depicting the uptime and response time of your website. Don't bother paying for the paid accounts, just sign up to the Free account.
3. To see whether your web page itself is performing okay, try Pingdom's free tool:
http://tools.pingdom.com/
Simply type in your website address and click "Test Now". Don't worry, this one is also completely free and it's quite handy to see how well the actual web page is performing.
4. It is also possible that manually deleting your browser's cache didn't work. Try pressing "Shift + F5" when viewing your website to force your website to discard the cache and re-download all the images and code directly from the server. If this seems to fix the problem, you might want to try reinstalling your browser to see if that permanently fixes the problem
Just out of interest, you aren't using the EXPIRES Meta Tag by any chance are you?
Cheers,
Nahumi

I will try each of the suggestions above and see what happens. The interesting thing about this problem is that it happens across multiple browsers, but...
1. The first time I access the site from a new browser window it appears fine
2. When I refresh I either get missing elements or the following error
This webpage is not available.
The webpage at http://www.aceslegacy.com/ might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.
More information on this error
Below is the original error message
Error 101 (net::ERR_CONNECTION_RESET): Unknown error.
3. If I close down the window that is being refreshed and open another browser window and browse to the site, again it appears perfect. (However this is not the case if I have two or more browsers open at the same time, browsing to the same site)
I will post the outcome of your suggestions when complete.
Regards
Bryce
edit:
Okay so heres something interesting,..... I hust conducted a search as your first suggestion mentions and okay there are hundreds of sites on that server.
I tried the first site and it was difficult to tell if there were any errors, as pages would not refresh at all. I could navigate around the site using the menu bar, but when I tried refreshing, the page would stay static.
However when I tried the next site on the list, the page loaded perfectly when I first loaded it, and then when I refreshed, some elements on the page were missing. In their place were placeholders, which is exactly what I see 80% of the time on my own sites.
When you say "it is possible they are singling out my IP address" do you mean the IP address of the site or the computer? The reason I ask is that we are on a dynamic IP system, and the problem is also occurring on 3 computers in the house.
Further Edit:
All sites checked so far are taken an extremely long time to load

Hello, Bryce.
First, let me assure you that my appreciation is genuine. You've attempted to load other sites on the same Shared server; I thought this to be remarkable.
Here is what I'm seeing on the server (the last 10 entries from the search):

Note your IP address in the "SRC" field. The threshold is 20 new, invalid, or "untracked" connections within a 5 second period. Normal usage, such as making a change and then refreshing the website in a browser, will not trigger this rule.
The following excerpts are from the Apache error log. Note the timestamps at the beginning of each entry:

It's possible that you are not initiating these connections, but they appear to be coming from your IP address. Given the number and frequency of the connections hitting the server, it's possible that your system is infected with malicious software. Please don't misunderstand my reason for stating this; I'm simply trying to troubleshoot the issue as it is presented.
Thanks
Bryce

Now, this may come in handy with some of your future visitors..... When I had deciphered the report from the hosting company, I checked all 3 computers and the router, once again. There seemed to be no instances of malware on anything, and the router was working fine. I then again spoke with the hosting company, and when discussing the issue an interesting thing came to light.
When I questioned why after 2 years with no problems I was all of a sudden getting this type of flooding. He said to me that certain scripts and programs could actually generate code close enough to that used by the security protocol used at the server end. As an example he told me that it was common for the Wordpress themes that use "timthumb" for placing thumbnails, to trigger this rule.
There was my connecting factor! - On both of the sites having the trouble I am using that exact same setup. I asked him if he could white-list these two sites to bypass the error, he agreed, and all tests after that point resolved almost perfect results. So today I am going to be running the site as if nothing had happened and see if I generate any errors as I was getting before.
Thanks for your assistance. This has been 3 weeks of pure frustration, and to be told 3 times by the hosting company that it is not an issue they could deal with, (initially) is even more frustrating. I will post my work results here later today. This should (at this stage) serve as a warning to anybody running Wordpress themes that work with the "timthumb" framework.
