It is still up. Not sure what to tell you. Looks like a DNS issue.

romraider.com is currently resolving to 66.36.236.241 for me.

It's up for me, too. But try opening http://66.36.236.241. What is that about?

It's not working for me from my home broadband (Singnet).

But using the same notebook, it works at work, and in hotels in other countries (Indonesia, Hanoi, Bangkok), as well as other provider in Singapore (Qmax, Starhub).

Wierd.

Look forward to a fix.

Sounds like it's at the same IP address but the website is resolved using host headers (i.e., the url/name is important).

I believe this is a DNS issue on your end. Try using a different DNS server. You should contact your ISP.

You might try setting up your connection to use the free domain name servers from OpenDNS.org:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220

Thank you so much for the hint (host headers). Success!!! It wasn't DNS issue, but HTTP 1.1 issue.

Turned off HTTP 1.1 for direct and proxy, shut off Singnet proxy, and it works!!

One of several web sites hosted on that server. Host headers are used to discriminate between web sites.
I'd be contacting your ISP about this.
