At the time of writing this (01:12 GMT) I seem to have problems FTPing to my site (Time out problems), and, to a lesser extent, page loading problems.
I just wanted tocheck whether the servers are OK or whether the problem is on my end.

Please let me know if you can.

Server seems okay here. There are many things which affect the loading of a page. Server Load is only one aspect. The Local Provider could have been doing some maintenance? The Backbone could be busy? The Pipeline is only so large. I notice a slow-down of my response time right around 4 pm local when the 'kids' are just getting home from school, for example.
Of course, the Server Techs might have been doing some work right around then, too. We simply do not know...
