from DailyKos:

They are paying $15/month for hosting at a place called MyHostCamp, with a bandwidth limit of 10GB. MyHostCamp is currently down, along with all their clients.

Here's the deal -- you get what you pay for. My hosting bill is now over $7K per month. A smaller site doesn't need that much bandwidth, but if you're paying $15 because your $12 million campaign is too freakin' cheap to pay for quality hosting, then don't go blaming your opponent when your sh**tty service goes out.

For their part, the Lamont campaign has offered its technical expertise to get Lieberman's site back up (which could be done in an hour by a competent sysadmin), and has added a link to the googlecached version of Lieberman's site at the top of their blog.

One side is acting mature, the other is running around making baseless accusations.

Update: Dan Gerstein, Lieberman spokesperson, admits they have no evidence Lamont's campaign or his supporters are behind their website woes.

I'm telling you, it's down because they were too cheap to pay for quality hosting. That's a lesson to all of you campaigns skimping on hosting. $15 won't cut it.

Update II: Joe's site shares one server with 73 other sites. They pay $15/month for an overcrowded server, and then they blame others when it goes down? Full list of sites on Joe's server on the flip.

The funny thing is, Joe's site called www.meetned.com is running on the same server and it's up. Joe's internet consultant said he was spending 99% of his time talking to reporters, instead of fixing their low budget site.

That "Meet Ned" website has a typo on the front page.  He can't get his main website up and his attack Ned website hasn't even been looked over for grammatical errors.  And he's spending $15 a month on the hosting for these sites.  Talk about running a great campaign.

Maybe he could work on, you know, putting the actual website back up instead of accusing Ned Lamont's supporters of not paying for an adequate hosting service?
