Well, this is the official line from Register365 AKA NamesCO:

"There appears to be an issue with an upstream provider to Register 365 causing all hosts to appear to be offline. We are working with our provider to remedy this issue as quickly as possible."

Thankfully it's back now. Also, as people can probably tell by the fact that this blog didn't go down, it's not with Hosting365 anymore :)
