Based on this and comments on another thread it's probably been wiped from a DNS server (the internet's "address book").

My knowledge of DNS is somewhat fuzzy but I am guessing that some people's computers are using an old, cached DNS entry and as such, their browsers can still "look up" the sites address.

Link dead. If you can see it, try refreshing your browser and (at the time of writing) it will disappear before your eyes.

Looks like DDOS attack to me.

Oh no, I was wondering if that would happen.

They're all over Twitter with an easy-fill-in-form for the consultation today.

So my guess would be Internet terrorism. Someone has probably attacked it with zillions of automated hits or something.
