Sorry about downtime on website, my hosting provider seems to be having problems lately.

In the meantime, I'm able to get site to work by clicking "restart" on my web instance, so do let me know if you see it is down.

A server I'm running on a cheap VPS has downtimes as the hoster apparently switches the VPS off with no prior warning (crashes it) every so many weeks. (That hoster is Contabo, who does not have too good a reputation hereabouts.) They don't boot it up automatically, I have to do that myself.

The "keep it up" monitoring app on my Android smartphone helped me reduce the downtime by maybe a factor 5 or so.
