I would appreciate any help.

First of all, I would like to note:
1. I do not use GoDaddy

2. I contacted my dedicated host provider, APlus, they do not require a proxy to talk to external sites via cURL.

3. I have verified cURL is working via curltest.php

4. And port 1129 is open for bi-directional communication

Interestingly enough, a few months ago, everthing was wokring, now... nothing.

When I go to "curltest.php?linkpoint=1", this is the error I get:
28 Resolving host timed out: secure.linkpt.net

Array
