Ouch, actually it looks like they've been hacked.

Used to be

http://216.239.57.100/search?q=cache:FH4n1qsyxe4C:www.dnpd.com/+&hl=en&ie=UTF-8

Then again, it could be a legit shutdown like I mentioned in that previous post.

Whoever did it... they didn't edit the source and left the title tag at DNPD.com

Don't know why they would use CSS for that anyway.

If you check the link, you will find that it is http://www.hostmatrix.com ( with R ) which is closed. But Host Matix is working just fine.

I believe Host Matix is still operating as my site is hosted there. Click Here (http://www.*********.com)

That's because there is Host Matix and no Host Matrix. :D
