My PHP script cannot connect to any external hosts

By default ayudaHosting blocks all outbound requests as a security measure.

If you have a specific domain or IP that needs to be allowed (ie. a payment gateway, backup server, etc), please contact us and we can allow access to your host you are trying to contact.

Alternatively, if you require access to a frequently changing list of hosts, we can provide you with a username and password for our proxy server that allows you unrestricted access to all hosts.
