Apache Virtual Host Site Inaccessible

I'm setting up a dedicated server with multiple virtual hosts. The DNS is registered correctly...

$ ping mydomain.com
$ ping 8.8.8.8 (for example)

Both return the IP address as expected and it's correct.

The last line of my httpd.conf file is:

Include /etc/httpd/sites-enabled/

And the contents of mydomain.com.conf (in the above folder) are:

<VirtualHost 8.8.8.8:80>
    ServerName  mydomain.com
    ServerAdmin [email protected]

    # Indexes + Directory Root
    VirtualDocumentRoot /var/www/html/mydomain.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/mydomain.com
    <Directory "/var/www/html/mydomain.com">
        Options FollowSymLinks MultiViews
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

I suspected that the firewall was interfering with the access so I have disabled it with:

$ /etc/init.d/iptables stop

The server is running CentOS 6 64-bit with the latest LAMP stack.

Trying to go to the address http://www.mydomain.com/ or the IP address in browser both result in eventual time-out. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thank you!

EDIT 1

Running apachectl -S returns...

VirtualHost configuration:
8.8.8.8:80        mydomain.com (/etc/httpd/sites-enabled/mydomain.com.conf:6)
Syntax OK

EDIT 2

Following the request in Chrome's inspector returns a 204 header response.

204 No Content
    The server successfully processed the request, but is not returning any content.

Thanks.

SOLVED

My hosting provider had configured their hardware firewall to only allow traffic through on port 22 (SSH). Why on earth would I NOT want traffic on my WEBSITE.

$_hosting_provider = "In.sane";
