fsockopen not working for you?

The fsockopen function works for connecting to any URL that is on port 80. If its using another port it won't work. We have a firewall for our Shared IP customers, so we can track banwidth effectively. If you need to connect to ports other than 80, then this requires you buy a Dedicated IP from us, which costs an additional $30.00 per year. You can purchase a Dedicated IP address from within cPanel by clicking the Domain Manager icon and then selecting the Dedicated IP tab at the top.
