The Site's been up and down, mainly due to efforts to put the server onto an SDSL line instead of an ADSL line. The difference between the two is that the upload speed (from the server to you) of ADSL is a small fraction of the download speed, while SDSL is high speed both ways, which is much more suitable for a server. I've been reluctant to do updates in the event I have to move the site to a different physical computer.
It'll cost $30 more per month, maybe $50 if I have to get a permanent IP address, but its a lot cheaper than paying $100 for a dedicated server and extra for backups. (I'm planning to do other stuff with the server)
Once things are up and running, we'll be back open for business.
