I swear I could access the site yesterday, but today I'm getting messages about the DNS. Should I just wait, or am I suppose to go somewhere other than http://www.purezc.net/?

It works for me. They did just move servers at 7am EST today. LinktheMaster said there might be some DNS issues for a while.

It did indeed. It's working again for me now.
After flushing my DNS several times, flushing the OpenDNS cache, rebooting my router, and flushing my client DNS one more time it works.
Wonder why they moved to a different datacenter?
It seems they rebuilt their software; they switched to a slightly old Apache and instead of having an expired SSL certificate they completely removed HTTPS. Perhaps they could install Certbot and add full HTTPS, as Linode servers handle HTTPS quite easily.

It loads on my phone but still not on my PC. It seems like they just changed owners, which would explain the server switch.
The server isn't with Linode any longer, (publicly) because of all the DDOS attacks that Linode is routinely swamped by, and (speculatively) likely also to reduce costs....do we need/care about HTTPS/443 on Pure? A single machine cert is rather affordable these days, so I suppose if it's important-enough, someone might offer to procure one. I'm not terribly worried about data capture of logins, or posts that I make there. That information is pretty worthless, IMO.
It took the full bleeping day for the DNS updates to reach me.

Actually they moved it to a different Linode datacenter, but they did move away from the one that suffered the huge DDOS attack.
As for HTTPS, it does have a forum with usernames and passwords, and a certificate for a VPS can be obtained for free at letsencrypt.org
I think the Certbot software can even automatically configure the Apache server.

SSL isn't a huge deal when you're speaking of what our content is, but Google is working on making sites that aren't secure a pain to deal with, and with how large of a market share Chrome has, that is a big deal. Or will be before long rather.

I'm not sure if Hostrocket even supports HTTPS on the service AGN uses. Since PureZC uses Linode (a VPS provider) assuming they are not buying shared hosting from the operator of the VPS acquiring HTTPS can be done using an automated Python application called Certbot.
That said, the warning in Chrome will be phased in, at first showing a warning whenever a password field is detected on a non-secure website.
There is already a flag in Chrome which will if enabled display a red triangle next to all non-secure websites.
I'm aware of how it works in both situations.
The SSL comment above just reminded me of the Chrome story and how much trouble it will initially cause, though it is perhaps for the best if SSL becomes more the norm.
