My firewall is blocking that web server. Meaning they’re probably using it to host trackers…

That’s not really how that works.

If you wanted to “host a tracker” you wouldn’t do it from the same IP address you’re hosting Web pages on.

it’s either on the blacklist because it’s hosting a domain for 3rd party cookies or hosting advertisements. You’ve got to remember that from the perspective of these corpos, they’re not actually doing anything nefarious, and they can host multiple vhosts from the same IP. Now, I haven’t looked into it it’s being blocked by an IP blacklist at the firewall, or a DNS advertisement blacklist.

But in short, I disagree. It is how that works.

If you’re “hosting a tracker” you want an IP you can change as often as you like.

If you’re hosting a website you want an IP that never changes.

IPv6 is free and IPv4 is very cheap.

Even in the extraordinarily unlikely circumstance they really are hosting both on the same infrastructure, they aren’t going to use the same IP.

Let’s assume for the sake of argument that you’re right. The IP has never been used for anything nefarious, and it’s not being actively blacklisted. Oh my word! It suddenly started working! You fixed it :) thank you.
