Posted on by Marko Fiume
Copy paste of the comment i sent on reddit on a related thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/neocities/comments/1txjory/comment/opwjy7i/

Not a Neocities user (my site markofiume.com is hosted on a vps) but i can confirm it's a DNS resolution issue and since Neocities uses Cloudflare, it's a Cloudflare issue. I was able to get the IP address of a Neocities website using a non-neocities.org domain and trying to access it reveals the Neocities servers themselves are working:
$ curl https://[2620:2:6000::bad:dab:cafe] -Lsk -H "Host: neocities.org" | head -n 12
<!doctype html>

SEA (the Seattle database for Cloudflare) did undergo maintenance today from 8am to 1pm UTC but it's almost 2pm as of writing this and https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/ confirms SEA is operational again. other than this i can't give a lot of details
