Here's what I have found on 250free today:

www.250free.com

250Free has suffered from a catastrophic failure. All user data is currently intact. We will update you when 250Free will be available again.

Personal websites should be accessible. However, domain names that point to 250Free accounts may not be functioning for a time.

Please do not email us saying our website is down. We know. :) And please do not email asking when the site will be available again. 250Free will be up as soon as possible and we will do our best to inform you of progress as it happens. We will not be able to answer most email during this time.

Seems like they are in allot of trouble I think we moved just in time.
