I can confirm that the site wasn't offline for a week definitely. I've been using it regularly lately and it wasn't offline for me even once, and the max time which could pass from my last visit would be not more than two days.
Thanks for confirming that. It looks like the domain name expired at the end of last month and then we got one week grace period before DNS was updated. DNS servers cache addresses so not all of them would update immediately so this is why some people starting having problems last night and others didn't. (This brings back memories of 2000 which was the last time I administered an internet DNS server.)
