Yeah...
Uncle!!!

I've found a php program that establishes socket connections and other socket actions, but I can't get it to work with udp to provide back actual ip addresses, let alone convert over to tcp port 443, the traceroute program I have is windows based and does not have any switches to enable tcp or communicate via a port, other traceroute programs I have looked for and found also don't have port or tcp functionality. At this point I can't seem to get or be given any information and appear utterly at the mercy of everyone else without some cooperation.

I was advised by my host that I will hear back from them in 5-29 hours from now. In the mean time without further assistance we'll be looking for a new host I guess.
