Netham45 are you doing stuff on your server tonight? Earlier I noticed the site (and the entire botnet) went down for a few minutes, then just now a few minutes ago it did it again, this time lasting for about 10 minutes. It's not my connection because isup.me was also reporting that the site is down. It seemed server-wide.
You may want to check your stuff in case it's some sort of server meltdown/failure or something.

One of the routers at my host has been getting DoS'd. I got an e-mail earlier, they said it should be solved by the end of the hour.
Expected downtime for "less than 5 minutes" at some point between a
half hour from now and an hour from now. The quoted following
information explains why.

Your Ticket #78069 has been updated by Jon Bayless:
Customer: Barrett Anderson
Ticket description: Connection Issues
Ticket category: Colocation Services: Connectivity Problems
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Monday October 24th at approximately 3:50AM Mountain Time, one of
Fibernet's routers that provides service to our customers was the
target of a large denial of service attack (DOS). The attack lasted
about 25 minutes. During the attack, many customers whose service is
provisioned on the affected router would have experienced increased
latency and moderate or high rates of packet loss or intermittent loss
of service. This attack also had a side effect of revealing a bug in
the router software that we believe caused the impact of the attack to
be amplified beyond what normally would have occurred. Due to this we
are scheduling an emergency software upgrade on the router in question
as soon as possible.
The software upgrade will result in a minimal interruption in internet
service on the affected router. The interruption is expected to last
less than 5 minutes.
Emergency Maintenance Window:
30 minute duration
Monday Oct. 24 11:30PM to Tuesday Oct 25 12AM (Midnight)
Expected service interruption:
Less than 5 minutes
Another short interruption happened as you mentioned about 20 minutes
ago. The software update should prevent any further issues.
Sorry for the difficulties.
Thanks
