Hay, all--man, I've got a weird thing going on here. I needed to buy some additional web hosting space. I currently have a server w/a provider & can access CPanel & all my other services w/o difficulty. Lately, though, I needed to buy more space, & because I'd been so happy w/NameCheap in terms of buying domains, I decided to lease server space from them. When attempting to log into my CPanel, I get a message that says authenticating, & then it asks for my username & password again. I click the login button, & get: Login successful.

I've used 2 proxies, 1 of which said it wouldn't let me view anything else until I paid 'em $40, the other I couldn't get past the logon screen. I've also tried logging on from different networks, w/similar results.

Again, I have no difficulty connecting w/my other provider. I'm also experiencing timeout issues w/Namecheap's ftp as well. The support people cannot replicate the problem, i.e., entering my user credentials logs them on just fine, evidently. I can actually access www.1bizhosting.com w/o difficulty. So--any1 got any bright ideas? I've been doing this stuff a pretty long time now & I've never seen anything quite like this b4. -- Blame the computer--why not?
