Go figure how ironical things can be -_-

From what I understood, my host had electrical problems, and this evening, my website was accessible to most of my visitors, but I, the admin, was seeing it offline ¬_¬

I had problems reaching the site earlier, as well. One theory for you…

Most hosting providers have multiple trunk-lines coming into the facility for redundancy purposes. Oftentimes these trunk lines are spread across multiple internet service providers for additional redundancy. It's possible that the electrical problems weren't facility-wide, and only affected one ISP's equipment, and since each ISP has its own routing tables (with separate IPs), you could indeed have a situation where only some visitors could access your site and not others.

If you're concerned about it, Oliver, you might try calling your host and see if they're able to mirror the routing information across across the various trunk-lines/ISPs (often accomplished with a secondary (or fall-back) DNS.) That way, if one of the trunks goes down, access to your site doesn't drop with it. Of course, all of this assumes they're using multiple ISPs. Start by asking them why some visitors were able to access your site and not others, and proceed from there.

Just my two cents. Keep up the good work!

Yep yep. Me too. I thought you site crashed or something and panicking. But I guess I'm not the only one.

Sorry I saw this post and I figured you were having the same problem as the goblin on the Legend of Zelda level 7(1st quest). I was going to head over to a butcher shop and get you a big rack of lamb.
