IMO kind of silly in this day and age; it points out how cheap MindArk is, and their web presence is likely a single server at a crappy data center with no CDN or failover.
What makes you think that they actually have a hardware server for the site? Could be just a VPS / shared hosting for front end, with the other stuff (after logging in) running from another location / server.
But either way, yeah, they make weird decisions. Like low end hosting / etc. Especially when your whole business is based on the net, you can't afford to have any unexpected downtime on your customer facing sites.
There are currently some issues with one of the web servers, and will be fixed soon (about an hour or so).
Meanwhile, it should work as usual if you just manually add www. before any link you are trying to access. Sorry for the inconvenience.
FYI this is easy to test without having to ask. There are hundreds of sites that will check for you, for example: http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com
That being said, DDoS is unlikely since that would still allow some packet flow. I did a traceroute and the connection dies upstream of them, on Telia's network. Which is a bit surprising since that's likely their backbone (also who uses a single backbone?).
