Just because a web site } is down for a day } does not mean the company is in trouble! } Traceroute is inappropriate for showing that a site is up or down. A site can be up and still not reachable by traceroute. It is also pretty inept of a company to allow their long-time-working network site to be completely unavailable just because they're moving. Very poor planning. Considering how easy it is to avoid this, it's not all that unreasonable to wonder whether the company still exists. (And it's been way longer than `a day'.)
