I had some of the network equipment replaced since there had been some issues recently
hopefully it means an improvement in performance and reliability
it also means a new IP address unforunately, if you are seeing this now it is because your ISP/DNS server has already discovered the updated IP. unfortunately it can take anywhere from instantly, to 72 HOURS for someone to actually get those IP change updates to their ISP/DNS server.. so it could be a bit quiet on the server for the next day or two
since both the website and the minecraft server are hosted from the same address there isn't even any way for me to inform people of why it isn't working until it is working again for them to see this
