$ whois atari.org ... NS1.ATARI.ORG 212.73.17.43 NS2.GEMSOFT.NET 195.10.254.4 The primary nameserver, ns1.atari.org is apparently down (currently not pingable). Although ns2.gemsoft.net is up (I can ping it) it is not answering my queries regarding atari800.atari.org. It does, on the other hand, have an NS record for atari.org itself, and a CNAME for www.atari.org -> gem.atari.org (212.73.17.43) which we already determined is down. My guess is that all the atari.org stuff (DNS, web, mail) is run off one box and since that is down, we have no atari800.atari.org either. > On the other hand: > > http://www.signus.demon.co.uk/david/atari/atari.html This one is a bit different. $ host -a www.signus.demon.co.uk www.signus.demon.co.uk MX 10 punt-1.mail.demon.net www.signus.demon.co.uk MX 10 punt-2.mail.demon.net So, it seems there are at least MX records for this address, but no A or CNAME records. So the web site, it seems, does not exist for the moment. You may, however, be able to contact someone via email to that address. In short, no, it's not just you.
