Can anyone log into Eccie?

It's likely maintenance or an issue at the European datacenter. This is common particularly with offshore colo facilities or VPS solutions.

The domain eccie.net was registered with godaddy (not smart btw, but it was back in the day when it was less concerning, still not a great idea even then though), however, the name server's that point to the hosting solution are ns1 and ns2 webair.net. Webair.net is a hosting solution with data centers in NY and guess where else? Yes, the Netherlands. I would imagine that is where they have the server or VPS solution hosted.

Likely either the European data center that Webair.net uses (which is where Eccie hosts per the whois records) is experiencing issues or they are doing server maintenance or someone simply screwed something up (also not uncommon while trying to make server modifications or site updates).

It's probably not "offline for good". We will have to see. It's possible, yes, that they let their billing lapse (due to this while "new year" craziness) and this is when Webair.net turned off their VPS solution or load balanced colo solution. That's possible but this has happened a lot before too. Sometimes even for an entire day or more. It's one of the downsides of hosting in offshore data centers.
