Probably, as you mentioned previously, a DNS problem. I would contact
the hosting service about it, or switch to a new one. A few years ago
I was having DNS problems. I was using my ISP's DNS servers. So, I
switched to another, a free one: Problems went away.
Do you use a proxy? Do you have this problem with any other sites?
Check your firewall, too. It could be blocking the Debian sites.
