Well guess what - I am hosted by the same host as the OAS site.  My data is completely inaccessible at the moment.  Also, I can't send or receive mail.

I might have to change provider :(

Hardware failures happen. When a hardware failure hit the OAS website on a Sunday morning they had it fixed within a couple of hours. According to the status messages they seem to have fixed this one in the same sort of time frame.
