Screenshot of the error

IP address: 66.235.200.146 - Cloudflare, Inc. (AS13335)
hammerheadbs-com - loads no problems

The IP address: 50.87.196.244 - Unified Layer (AS46606)
is where everything below is located that I am having issues connecting with:
mail(.)hammerheadbs-com
smdc(.)hammerheadbs-com
store(.)hammerheadbs-com
bluehost.com > cpanel, file manager, cpanel email
^^All result → ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT

Additional screenshot of Developer Tools Payload Headers:

  • https://mail.hammerheadbs.com 301-redirects to hammerheadbs-com and loads the site at my end.
  • smdc.hammerheadbs.com has no IP address so http(s) doesn’t work.
  • https://store.hammerheadbs.com works and loads a different site

Your screenshots show https://box2350.bluehost.com:2083. This is a Bluehost domain, which is not connected to your own domain in any way. And only Bluehost can fix for you any issues you’re having on their website.

Thank you for checking this thread out @GeorgeAppiah, I am in over my head here.

-I have had multiple calls with BH tech support with no resolution.

https://box2350.bluehost.com
‘box2350’ subdomain is my Bluehost hosting account, the IP address is: 50.87.196.244
The following:

  • mail.hammerheadbs.com
  • smdc.hammerheadbs.com
  • store.hammerheadbs.com
    and all of my other sites on this shared hosting share the same IP address: 50.87.196.244

Yes the screenshots shot https://box2350.bluehost.com:2083, it doesn’t matter which subdomain I go to, or any of the 6 other websites I host on this shared hosting, they all result in the same error screen, as well as when I try to go from my Bluehost account login site to the cPanel, which the link is to the aforementioned box2350.bluehost.com
