From here it seems as follows:

Traceroute works, which means the server is up.
Unfortunately traceroute and ping don't use port 80.
Port 80 (HTTP) times out, which tells me the dataserver
is running but the http server died on it.
I hope it'll be back up and running soon :)

When someone asks "is the data server down", I automatically assume 
that to mean "is the data service unresponsive", rather than "is the 
machine that operates the service down".  The former encompasses the 
latter, and many other possibilities besides.
