Kindly advise.

In addition to the followup questions mentioned above, a similar question has been asked before with some good general recommendations:

If you are unable to connect to your server, double-check that it is pingable by running a PING command on the IP address for your server. You can also check if you can connect to your server via LISH:

Beyond this, it is also probably a good idea to check and make sure there are no open tickets on your account that relate to the server hosting your website. Sometimes people miss maintenance announcements, or network restrictions could be implemented to mitigate malicious activity originating from a given server.
