People, people, people.
Just as some people could still see it after it was redirected because of cached DNS, some of you will still see the "Domain not found" found page for up to 48 hours after the problem is resolved.
This is how DNS works, we can't do anything to hurry it.
If Agent001 wants to tell us the IP Address of the server, we could use that, but otherwise we'll just have to be patient. 
Fear not, it's very unlikely that you'll miss that uber-avian spawn in just one small 48 hour period, right?

BTW, as a backup for just this problem, I created a login at swgcraft and setup a list of filters that I can check. Try it out, it is not as easy as the page we have, but it works. After you have created the login, goto the swgcraft home page and click on Resource Filters... setup each one and voila... you have your own set of med filters. Again not as cool and easy, but effective in a pinch.

And just like Dr. Chee stated.. cached DNS and DNS propogation can be your enemy!
Just give it a little time..

It's one of the ways the Internet stays working in the face of nuclear attack! 8)

Your wish has been granted!
iootnega.com 63.99.224.58
However this may not work for you because it looks like the webserver is looking to see what you put in the URL, and iootnega.com works and the IP doesn't.
If this is the case, add this line to the bottom of the file at: c:\Windows\System32\Drivers\Etc\hosts
iootnega.com 63.99.224.58
That should force your browser to use the IP given for iootnega.com. After doing this you will probably need to restart all browsers and/or your box to make it register the new name. You might also go to Start->Run and type: ipconfig /flushdns
Good luck

Is it running on the standard HTTP port? I don't seem to have access at that IP and default port 80.
*** edit ***
I can't access via iootnega.com either. It resolves to 216.168.224.53 for me and I get the Network Solutions domain name expired page.

I wish someone that was getting to it fine would go to Start -> Run -> cmd -> ping iootnega.com...
and tell us the IP address their DNS is telling them.
EDIT:

EDIT:
Actually yes, I missed the best spawn of Avian on Shadowfire ever [for buff strength] b/c of it.

I was having this same problem, and it looks like the DNS records are slightly screwy at the moment. For me, http://www.iootnega.com leads straight to the renewal page. BUT!!! If I just go to http://iootnega.com then it works fine. Pings confirm that the Host record for www.iootnega.com points to a different IP address than the record for iootnega.com itself.
So I'd recommend trying http://iootnega.com instead of your bookmarks which probably include the www. Hope the clicky works for ya!

DNS issue seems to have been resolved now... I can get to the website fine, where I was not able to before of course. If you are still getting the renewal page, try holding the Shift key and clicking Refresh [not F5 on the keyboard] ... this forces a full refresh of the page, including fetching DNS information I believe.

If that doesn't work, close all your browser and Explorer windows (ALL of them), Start->Run and type ipconfig /flushdns
That will guarantee you get a fresh DNS record, although it doesn't guarantee the record you get will work right

SWGCraft is driving me crazy. It says to use the resource filter I need to log in. I log in and it takes me to the forums, from which I have no idea how to get to the resource filter again.
I know I'm missing something - and with that, I'm quitting for tonight before I break something
