The server has been down for a few minutes now as part of the scheduled maintenance by our hosting company, hopefully we will be back and running within the next twenty minutes or so. I have turned the whitelist on and stopped the server as it came up and went down a couple of times and I don't want to risk world corruption.
I'll keep you posted!

Well that was a pain, everything seems ok now, all I know is that all the MineCraft servers they host (thousands) went down so it was a network wide issue. They've been coming back online one rack at a time and are mostly back up but it will be an hour or two before everything is fully up and running, hopefully their will be no further downtime during that time.
