Can people quickly visit the below website for me and tell me if it works for you or not.

That's what I am getting too, but the people who host the server this site sits on said it was working fine.

The domain is in 'clientHold' status - http://whois.domaintools.com/shakespearescelebrations.com

Oddly the domain expiration isn't until 2018 but the WHOIS shows:

So I guess your registrar has messed something up.

Hmm, thanks for that. Time to get on to them.

The people who host the site are not the same people who manage the domain/dns stuff.

Looks like the domain is registered with fasthosts and the hosting is through tagadab?
It's fasthosts you'll need to speak to about this.

Setting the IP address in my hosts file, I get the site to load correctly so the hosting company are correct: the site is up and running.

I know that, I was on the phone to them to try and rule out a server issue because just as it so happens a server update was done on the server at the same time the site went down, so we were discussing with them if it was related to that or if it was something else, and it was at this point they said the site was working their end.

Turns out domain name hasn't been renewed.

Thanks everyone.
