404 error

I've never seen my website as dead as this time: no ping, no FTP, no mysqi and of course no webserver connections.
Is anybody out there, who can tell me, what's going on?

Thx.And a Happy New Year

Site and server has been up all along.
However, your local IP was blocked by the server due to too many failed IMAP login attempts.
I have removed the block, please ensure as quick as possible that your mail client(s) on your local network is using the correct credentials for login to the mail server.

Thanks so much, Anna.
The many false IMAP login attempts seem a bit strange to me, since there is just one client, which logs in with saved credentials automatically. Whatsoever, I will check the firewall logs.

I can see that your account was recently suspended for inactivity and that you unsuspended just a couple days ago.
Any attempt to login to mail during the time the account was suspended would have resulted in a failed login attempt as the credentials would not be considered "valid" when the account is suspended, despite being the correct one for the account. This could be why your IP had ended up blocked.

Good point. This might have been the reason indeed. Thx for the hint.
