This time it was a global Cloudflare failure, which is very rare.
EuroGA is one of countless thousands of sites running behind Cloudflare, which provides loads of benefits and is free for nonprofit sites.

That I didn’t know. Nice!
Not that I recall…
Yes, and the lowest tier for small commercial use is only about 25 quid, IIRC. But even the free version gives you fantastic benefits, like being able to firewall 10,000 IP blocks, any number of countries, various bot defences e.g. based on hit rate, ability to set up captchas on various URLs… And of course they take care of the https certificate which would otherwise be a cron job which regularly blows up for various reasons.
