People who host the server are taking it down to investigate a BIOS problem that causes the server not to reboot correctly. My estimated downtime for this is 15-25 minutes.
Peace.

Ha ok. Maybe it will fix the problem that I can't access this site unless I use a proxy?

Mono it sounds like youre having the problems I had for almost a week a little while back.

Hopefully this doesnt escalate into a huge ordeal for longer downtime....best of luck...Must be so hard to have a site and host and not have many issues

It's just a problem with the motherboard (onboard BIOS chip) of the motherboard, so they simply have to reflash the software on the BIOS and this should fix the problem. If this doesn't work, replacing the motherboard will do the trick.
As for it being hard to host without issues, it is initially once your websites boom and you have to load balance everything without downtime and the initial setup of a server takes time and can cause bouts of downtime, however once this BIOS is fixed we'll be running with a guaranteed 99.9% uptime SLA and probably a 100% uptime record.

When will this begin? Or has it already happened?

If it has already happened, we'd be down

I dunno, whever they get round to it is when it'll begin.
