It is actually up.

It depends on when youre trying. Sometimes during a Ddos attack you can enter the site.

[Mica]

Well its up again :D Yay!

[Riley]

Yea notch signed up for a new hosting server or upgrade i forget which one and he got a DDoS protection service :)

[zingmars]

He is getting DDoSed and Hacked all the time. The guys behind this even left a comment on his blog once, claiming that they want Notch to actually do some work, instead of watching his bank balance climb all the time. They also mentioned that they aren't from any of the chans or any community site. DDoSing actually stopped some people from purchasing the game, therefore during these attacks he didn't get any money at all.

Well they do sort of got a point. The game does need more updates imo.
