I can get to https://ukvps.protx.com/vspadmin/ fine, which states

----------------
Protx test and live service outage - 23:00 Thursday 27th January 2005 to
02:00 Friday 28th January 2005.

Protx will be performing essential upgrade work from 23:00 on Thursday
27th January 2005 to 02:00 on Friday 28th January 2005.

This upgrade work will include putting in place the final piece of the
long term DDoS mitigation solution which Protx have been working on for
several weeks.

During the upgrade work the live and test services will be intermittent
and, at times unavailable. We will try to keep the impact of this work
to a minimum.

Please accept our sincerest apologies for any inconvenience this may
cause.
