I just checked it with the "is it down right now" web site and looks like its down for everyone as the server is not responding to a ping.

That web site is : www.isitdownrightnow.com

It was working fine last night, at about 10 p.m. central time, not that that helps matters.

I think Bill may have forgotten to pay the bill on his domain name registration.

The site being down also brings up an interesting question - Bill Steiner has built a great product but it's also a very niche industry. When he is ready to retire, does he sell it to one of the bigger firms Amos/Mystic for the bigger payoff, or hand it over to another dedicated person/group that will continue the tradition of low cost pages with many created by people using the site?

Good question. I suspect the Steiner pages will no longer be available for rock bottom prices.
