Possible internet routing issues driving me crazy!

Question

I've somehow hit a problem accessing a particular favourite website and it seems I may have a routing issue.
I've spoken with a friend who is fairly network savvy and he's suggested I raise a case \ complaint with BT. I thought I'd use this forum to test if I'm missing something I could be doing to fix it before logging a problem with BT Helpdesk!
I've a BT Homehub 2 (Current firmware    4.7.5.1.83.3.5 (Type B) and I can access pretty much all websites I care to look at without any issue at all, however the site I read most days is now no longer viewable on any of my 2 PC's nor my iPhone. When I try to access it I  get no error messages at all just a blank white page.
Doesn't matter if I try using IE or Firefox or Chrome browers it's the same result - I just see a blank white page.
The site in question www.celticquicknews.co.uk (or www.celticquicknews.com) and is definitely available, as I can access it when using a site such as http://www.free-internet-organization.tk/ on both my PC's and iphone so I know the web site is up and running and available for browsing but since Thursday lunchtime I've had no joy in being to access that particular site directly wihout resorting to using another middleman site to let me view it.
I have tweeted the guy who hosts the www.celticquicknews.co.uk site and he's said his site is fine but has numerous similar queries around BTINTERNET folks having the same issue as I'm reporting.
I run McAfee Internet Security and having disabled the various firewall \secure browsing functions no improvement still no joy.
I did successfully somehow connect directy to the illusive web site this morning (Sunday 1st May) on my iphone at around 10am, but by the time I boiled the kettle to have a coffeee and sit and read the site it became inaccessable again on my iphone and both my PC's! So what's going on?

I've reset my HH several times over the weekend and am baffled as to how I can somehow have 1 site excluded from my browsing options for no obvious reason other than a suspected internet routing issue.
My iPhone is on ORANGE and when disabling the wireless connection it too is unable to view the site in question so it's a real pain!
Not sure where to go to progress this so any help \ guidance is very much appreciated.......
Solved!

Answer 1

Appreciate the help....been out for most of the day and checked in to see if any additional posts.
I tried pinging the site and it does seem to resolve OK and also tried accessing site via IP but same issue - blank white page.
>ping www.celticquicknews.co.uk
Pinging www.celticquicknews.co.uk [217.174.253.143] with 32 bytes of data:
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Then tried the telnet command "telnet 217.174.253.143 80" and I do not get any errors and as suggested the command prompt goes blank but no matter what I type I get no errors or response from server 217.174.253.143.
My IP address has changed from this morning and sadly still same issue for me.

The tracert comments make sense so that's helped me understand, thanks for checking that out.
So what's the best option for me? Am I wasting BT and my own time logging a case?
I'd not usually bother pursuing this for the sake of a single web site but I'm bemused how this has happened since last week?
Thanks again for all help and guidance.
