Yesterday I had a strange outage on the site, connection started to get really slow until it was impossible to connect. Ping was reporting 85 percent packet loss. And so on. I tried a few things, stopping and starting services, to no avail (nothing seemed to be wrong *in* the machine). In the end I just contacted tech support at my hosting company and in a couple of hours they figured it out (all the signs pointed to some problem just "before" my machine). Then I spent some time last night restarting the stuff I had stopped and checking nothing bad had happened. Now it's all back to normal. "Or as normal as it gets..." :)
