Yes, our website is fine. I think your problem is because the date on your computer is set to May 5th, 1994. Most of the current DNS servers check the time of the request and if it is longer then a 3.2 years, they expire the request since it is hard to send an IP address to something in the past. Basically, if you set the time on your computer one year ahead (so, set it to 1999), you will never again have problems with DNS since it will always send the IP address a year in advance -- by the time you get to the future date of you current computer time setting, it will already have the IP it was asking for a year ago. This solution actually is what solved the internet congestion and saved the internet from crashing down.
