Any chance Games-workshop.com was involved? Can’t get the website up...

I can get to GW's site fine from the UK - it's also behind Cloudflare so it's really odd that it's not working for you.

Probably not, meaning this thread is just you asking people who don't have the answer why you can't connect to GW.

I'm familiar with the facility, I've been there a couple times.

Here's a video of firefighters working on SBG2, the building that went up.

This was advertised to me as a Tier III hosting facility with multiple, redundant fire suppression systems / power supplies / environmental controls / etc. Seeing it go up like that is very suspicious, that's not supposed to happen.

OP: entirely possible games-workshop.com is not available in certain parts of the world. OVH could have hosted parts of a CDN that used for delivery, without which it would not be available.
