after asking my host a second time my request was escalated, and it was found that they recently made a firewall change for outbound requests. simplexml_load_file still didn't work, but file_get_contents then simplexml_load_string from file_get_contents did work.
hoping this helps someone in the future - stay on top of what your host is doing. just sucks that it was preventing my users to sign up. wonder if i can add some error checking to prevent this in the future.
