Has anyone else been experienceing eqoutrider.net being down for the last few days?

It's like the site is having problems, but it won't even load up a generic "this user has not paid hosting" kind of message or anything. It just comes up with the "problem loading page" error.

Here's the linked bookmark that I use to go to the forums: EQ Outrider Forums. I also tried just going to the homepage, but same error.

I looked up the dns and the registration seems up to date (good till Sep 2012), but had problems tracing the route or obtaining the IP of the server. So the server is probably down. Or maybe even alot of servers in the area, as this last tracert I did, kept trying until 18 time outs in a row, which seems more than usual before it gave up.

The DNS is registered to Huntsville, AL, but I didn't look up the host server to see if it's in the same area or not, if something is going on there (like more tornados today).

EDIT: The hosting site seems up (at least I assume it is the hosting site): http://order.1and1.com/

There's a thread about it on the EQ forums, this post essentially sums it up

Essentially here's the current situation. Most people think I owned the site. I never did, just ran it for the original owner for like 5 years. I did the maintenance, he paid for the hosting. Come to find out, he cancelled the webhosting and scheduled the website for deletion on the 28th and didn't inform anyone. I contacted the host, and they think they can give me a backup for it from somewhere around the 27th or 28th of February. I'm told I'm on a queue from their administrators to get it done. This was on Thursday night. Will keep people informed here as I find more out. I'm unsure if I can reclaim the domain or not though.
