tl:dr: It's been reported that GD have a new server rule - an IP address 
is allowed only 5 requests per minute. If the address exceeds this 
limit, the IP will be blocked for 2 - 4 minutes.

Oh wonderful! :-/

This explains the "ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE", "No data" and "can't establish a 
connection to the server at" issues we've started seeing from GD 
customers over the past few days.

Atm, I'm confirming that the site is hosted with GD, then pointing 
people to the topic above and suggesting they contact GD about it as a 
first resort.
