A hostname isn't given just by that. A hostname is something like xxx.yy or www.xxx.yy or www.xxx.zzz.yyy. For instance:

google.com
winehq.org
reactos.org
openttd.org
php.net


You need to find out what is the hostname of the server you are trying to connect to. After that, you can try the ping command on it. If you *DON'T* know what the hostname is, you can try to directly ping/telnet the ip (Because a host is nothing more than that -- something that redirects to an IP. For instance, if you try to ping winehq.org, you'll see it's IP in between '[' and ']').

By the way, if this *IS* a problem on their side, have you tried searching their forums to see if they're going through some changes or the like? Has someone been experiencing the same kind of issues?
