Seems the HTTP daemon crashed on the server hosting our website. No explanation as to why yet from the hosting company but everything appears to be slowly coming back online.

The problem was caused by a script sending tens of thousands of fake E-bay emails. This caused the server to choke under the load and eventually it halted as it couldn't keep up. The Script has been removed now so we should be ok again.
