#18840 — lemonfool.co.uk down?

lemonfool.co.uk seems to have been unavailable for the last day or so.
Has anyone else experienced this?
I've tried from a couple of ISPs (BT and giffgaff/o2) in case it's ISP 
related, but no different.
Hope it's not permanenant.
Posting here on uk.finance (which has pretty much had no posting for 
ages) on the off chance that others may see this, and comment, and I 
haven't been able to find an associated lemonfool facebook or twitter 
update.

Something is definitely up. Sometimes it pings, sometimes it doesn't:

Perhaps a DDOS attack or a very poorly server?

#18842

I've been unable to access lemonfool.co.uk for a few days now. Tried deleting cookies but no difference. I haven't tried emailing stooz@lemonfool.co.uk as I would hope he is well aware of the problem and won't need the distraction.
I have seen posts from Clariman on moneysavingexpert.com if that's any use.
This post came up when I entered 'ping lemonfool.co.uk into my browser (Edge on Windows 10). I don't know why.

Due to problems with their hosting site apparently.

The problems mentioned were solved, but sadly only on a temporary basis, as they've returned with bells on over the past couple of days, as a result of which the site is now closed for a "large upgrade" - https://www.lemonfool.co.uk/index.php?mark_notification=3005663&hash=c341d649
