The server is down. On weather.com they are reporting massive thuderstorms in Detroit where the server is hosted. Hopefully once the storm passes the data center will be back up, and so will the server. Sorry for the inconvenience.

joeyz put in a support ticket with the server and they said they are very busy (which leads us to believe that this is a widespread problem) but they will look at it today. Hopefully it's something simple like a power outage and the server just needs to be turned back in. If the motherboard or power supply went then its obviously going to take a lot longer to get back up and running. But keep your fingers crossed and I'll message back and keep everyone posted.

We were right on spot, 90MPH winds and the whole deal. At 1AM the storm hit Michigan. So the data center is out of power and they are waiting on the power company to restore power to the data center.

Nothing we can do, were at the mercy of the electric company in Detroit with this one.
The data centers backup generators only keep vital servers going.
Must have been a horrendous storm for it to knock out power for over 24 hours now.
Here is the outage map for the area:
