cutting the bullshit: i can't view my site(s). i can connect to my server via FTP, my cpanel via http and view any other sites on the internet just fine. however anything on my hosting box, i can't view in HTTP.
neither chrome nor safari work.
os 10.9.5
have cleaned history, flushed DNS, restarted browsers and computers, reinstalled browsers and fallen short of re-populating the nameservers as there's nothing wrong with my hosting from an exterior view.however i can't access my own fucking site from my apartment and it's annoying.
i have comcast and a second gen apple time capsule as a wireless router. (comcast is on the roommate's name / account shit though so it's a pain in the ass on top of the normal to contact them.)
i've seemingly exhausted most of the info i can find online, and only one other person i know has heard of this and hasn't solved it yet. any help?

(have also: hard resets to modem and router, let modem remain disconnected for 12+ hours (no IP refresh), used google's public DNS in advanced network settings and renewed DHCP)

if you can access it by ftp, it's probably not a dns problem (if you are not connection by ip).
you can put the ip of your site in the browser and see if it responds like this. if site shows up, it is a dns problem.it could also be a port problem or something.
you can look into the server logs, maybe there is a clue there where to find a solution.
another thing could be you are in a sort of vpn connection with the server and therefore the dns don't work as expected.

try a traceroute or ping to the server (ip or dns) to see who drops the connection.
and look at the server logs, maybe you'll find something useful there.
good luck!

how is being on your cPanel different from your hosting box?
is your cPanel not on your hosting box?can your website be accessed by anyone else outside your apt?
when did this start and what changed?
