We can't see a problem at our end. At an nslookup/whois suggests that your main own-domain site isn't actually pointing at our servers, but at cloudflare?

How can I get Pythonanywhere to work with cloudflare?

It looks like CloudFlare do some sort of DNS magic and I can't find out from their site what magic they do, so it's entirely possible that their setup interferes with ours. It may be possible, but I can't work out how from the docs that they have available.
