In a command prompt type nslookup and hit enter.
Then type in the FQDN of the site and hit enter, it should return the IP of
the website.

Most of the time ping will tell you if you can connect to the site, but some
sites are just not pingable. I would suspect that since you can connect to
some sites but not this one that this could be a routing issue or a Firewall
issue. If nslookup is able to resolve the name then it isn't DNS and I would
only be lucky to resolve your issue. I can only give it a shot.
You could try to ping the IP of the site, then try pinging the IP of the
site with a larger packet size. You could also check the MTU, I've seen MTU
problems that would keep you from connecting to some sites because to many
packets get dropped.
