Arrow www.bbc.co.uk, the BBC's news website, was offline for over half an hour

The BBC's website, bbc.co.uk, went offline, with no clear sign when it would be up again.

The corporation's press office said it was not in a position to comment, but it was clearly something that had taken them by surprise.

The sprawling network of websites, known collectively as BBC Online, launched in 1997. On 24 January this year the BBC confirmed it would cut its online budget by 25%, or £34m, but it seems unlikely the cuts would affect the technology needed to keep the site online.
Seems to be OK now :
