Bear with me, I'm typing this on my phone...
The site is up and running, since I can access it on my phone, but from my pc I'm getting "server not found". Other websites load fine. I've flushed my dns, and rebooted my pc and router. I've tried all 3 major browsers too.
Any suggestions?

Re: site won't load on pc
Could be a firewall/anti-virus issue on your pc
Maybe try a different DNS server
OpenDNS:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Google:
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
Are you using a proxy server? If so try a different one or direct connection.

Re: site won't load on pc
Ok forcing it to use the google DNS worked.
I don't understand why that would be a problem that seemed to only effect OSG. I tried dozens of other sites and this is the only one that was giving me a problem.

Re: site won't load on pc
I'm on day three of this problem only with OSG. Until this morning I had assumed the server was down. I'm accessing through mobile network at present. Nothing connected to my Wi-Fi will connect to OSG.
EDIT: I found this step-by-step and it seems to have taken care of my issue. I didn't comprehend CBrown's solution at first. This is the "for dummies" version.
"Click windows button --- type cmd --- on the shortcut, right click and Run as Admin -- type ipconfig /flushdns press enter
click windows button --- Control panel --- under Network and Internet click View network status and tasks -- upper left click change adapter settings -- right click on your connection, Local area connection is if you're wired, Wireless Network Connection if wireless --- click Properties -- click to highlight Internet Protocol Version 4 --- click Properties button -- click Use the following DNS server addresses and in the boxes type 208.67.222.222 as Preferred and 208.67.220.220 as Alternate -- click OK, Close and close network connections -- reboot your computer and try it."
