# Error Connection Refused

 * On a daily basis I get an ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED message when trying to access
   my [site](http://creodesign.co) and WP dashboard.
 * The odd thing is that it only happens after I’ve been able to successfully login
   and see the site and have logged out or closed the dashboard; and it only happens
   on my work and home devices – external people can still see the site.
 * I’ve had my hosting provider look into it and they cannot find any issues. Same
   with our internal router/firewall at the office.
 * I’ve looked through the forums and have seen that others are experiencing similar
   issues, but I couldn’t find a resolution. The closest I’ve seen is that it could
   be an issue with my .htaccess file, but I couldn’t see anything there that would
   be blocking my IP address.
 * This is a massively frustrating issue that I’m struggling to resolve. Any suggestions?

 * I’ve switched hosting to Media Temple’s [managed WP hosting](https://mediatemple.net/webhosting/wordpress/)
   which seems to have fixed the issues.
 * I have a feeling that my previous hosting company knew it was their issue, but
   didn’t know how to resolve it, as every other test pointed in their direction.
 * Not sure about accessing your site through localhost though…

 * I dont think its my server(_also Media Temple_) to blame, probably more likely
   that Im doing something wrong..
    Thanks for the tip though, may come in useful
   in the future.
