Some folks are having issues due to some weird DNS thing. 
It's hosted
on the registerfly dns servers, but due to the recent
fiasco, godaddy
is taking control of their domains.  I'm hoping once the
move to
godaddy is complete, their DNS servers will do a better job
for folks
having problems.

Same issue here from South Africa. Also for quite some time
now.  
Initially when I saw the site was time I assumed the site
was canned  
but I'm glad it's still going.

Hi,

DNS report shows whats wrong.

http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/dnsreport.c
h?%26domain%3Dmephistoblog.com

Looks like registerfly is using CNAME's for it's DNS
servers, which
breaks the RFCs.. maybe some DNS clients support it and
others don't,
hence it working in some places and not others.

If you put the line :
207.210.122.54 www.mephistoblog.com
in your /etc/hosts file (nb. windows users: your hosts file
is
somewhere else, but you do have one )

... then the site will work.

Best Regards
Eaden McKee
