If you're having trouble reaching any Webs site, including your own and http://webs.com, we may need to determine where the connection is failing. A traceroute is a great way to find out if there is a blockage that is specific to your location or your internet service provider, that way Webs Support can determine the proper way to investigate and resolve the issue.

In the Command Prompt (a black screen with white text) type the following command
Tracert webs.com >c:\temp\trace.txt
and hit enter.

The trace.txt file in your C:\TEMP folder is what your Support representative will need in order to determine that cause of the connection problem. The file should look like this:
