News from Team hackaday have stated the issues with the current downtime of Hackaday.

"Yes folks Hack-a-Day is back online and it looks like most of the issues have been ironed out. I’m sure Eliot and Co. are glad to have it up and running once again.

If you need your fix, please go to http://hackaday.com versus http://www.hackaday.com. Every DNS server I have checked at the time of this posting does not have a standard ‘www’ record for hackaday.com. If you cannot get to http://hackaday.com, odds are your DNS records are stale. You can clear your local DNS cache with an ipconfig /flushdns at the command line. If that does not work, your DNS provider might not have updated records. In that case, use 4.2.2.2 as your DNS host.

Either way, everyone can calm down now since you can get your Hack-a-Day fix once again!"
