To all readers,
I apologize for the recent downtime, this is what happened
1) The server which I host my files in US got stuck by lightning
2) The engineers at the datacentre worked round the clock to replace the damaged hardwares.
3) Hardware are fixed, but SQL database are corrupted.
4) Went into the SQL database, and searched every table and finally found some corrupted tables, fixed it and here it is, up once again.
I was curious on why a webhosting provider can corrupt my database so I went on to enquire. They told me that despite running all their servers in RAID-6 configuration (the safest configuration), the hard disks went corrupted due to the huriccane in Ohio which caused unstable power supply to the data centre. It was reported that the power went on and off for 400 times ! in 50 minutes.
