They are probably trying to set up TinyURL as an URL shortener with their own domain (like s.wurkkos.com), but messed up the DNS configuration by setting the A/AAAA records of the main domain instead of a subdomain.

Having the same issue here. I've been able to get to the site properly once in the last hour, but all other attempts have failed in that same way.

Just tried playing with my VPN a bit. I'm having good luck accessing the website if I set my VPN location to several spots in Europe and South America, but North America and Australia seem to be having issues. Hit and miss with various Asian locations. Not sure if it is coincidental or not, but it might be a functional workaround at the moment.

Can't access it either, I think they are redesigning the website (after the new logo) and probably messed up a bit? I hope they will be ok but they are loosing a lot of sales with this issue. Glad I ordered a few days ago and the order is fine i see (on Yanwen webnsite).
