This time, x10hosting have blocked access to outgoing port 80 (http) requests from php. Thus blocking feedwordpress, and killing access to ebay RSS.
The result? No posts...
So here we go again, looking for a new free hosting service...
Any suggestions?

Supercars-For-Sale.Com - The saga so far..
Supercars-For-Sale.Com was originally set-up on 000webhost.com That lasted two weeks before they decided that their shared server couldn't cope with simple SQL requests..
The first I knew about it, my account was cancelled. Not suspended. CANCELLED.
No e-mail, nothing. (although I had received a few messages about slow mysql queries)
So, to hell with that. I transferred my site lock, stock and barrel to x10hosting.com, (and removed all the banner advertising for 000webhost). All went well, the site was up in no time at all.
But then I upgraded a couple of plugins and ran into problems. Wassup broke the site!
But worse than that, I couldn't get in to the site as Admin to sort it out!
Using x10hosting.com's file manager to remove Wassup's files worked just fine, though.
It gets worse, though.. the site was suspended for excessive use of resources..
Even though no-one could view the site..
I got it unsuspended, and all appeared OK. (Removed Wassup, remember..).
Overnight, the site was suspended again, for excessive use of resources. Sigh :(
This has to be to do with Feedwordpress being called from wp-cron every time a page is loaded. All it takes is one big bot visit, and we are suspended again.
So, as soon as I can get the site unsuspended again, wp-cron is getting suspended, and I'm manually running FWP's syndication update.
