I've been trying to get to the site for the past few days to try to switch my electricity provider but it never loads.
I've tried 3 different browsers and the same result is on all 3.

Weird, check this out:

Code:
ryan@falcon ~/temp $ telnet papowerswitch.com 80
Trying 192.237.224.60...
Connected to papowerswitch.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
GET / HTTP/1.1
HOST: papowerswitch.com

HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
Server: nginx
Date: Wed, 01 Feb 2017 23:18:29 GMT
Content-Type: text/html
Content-Length: 178
Connection: keep-alive
Location: http://www.papowerswitch.com/
x-serving-host: redirector9ef5f768

</body>
</html>

It never closes the connection, so the browser just kinda sits there thinking there's more data.

It's not down as in, server not being reachable, but the server is not responding correctly. It looks like it's using some kind of redirector service and it's not setup correctly.

I don't know what I just did, but I'm going to stop. Not sure why but don't get anything with the web browser, it just sits there. But telnet is interesting results.

Edit: I'm a noob. When I typed the GET command the terminal died and it actually did a completely different command. This is actually the result I get which is not as interesting:

Code:
telnet www.papowerswitch.com 80
Trying 104.239.201.53...
Connected to styx-03.pantheon.io.
Escape character is '^]'.
GET / HTTP/1.1
HOST: www.papowerswitch.com

Then it sits there and nothing actually happens. It connects, but no data ever gets transfered. It also looks like the host styx-03.pantheon.io is down.

I'm thinking they got hacked and it's suppose to redirect to some kind of trojan site. .

Yep seems to work now. But when I tried it a while ago it was acting funny. The server itself was up, but it was not actually serving the page.
