Some sys admins block pings for security through obscurity reasons, but it's a bit outdated now as attackers go straight for standard ports anyway.
So somewhere on the route someone is block ICMP packets; it might be your computer or any switch or router on the way.
Try a backtrace; on Windows use tracert 89.212.252.73

You will likely need to enable ICMP in your network/firewall settings on your server.
