Seems like easyDNS was DDOSed.

easyDNS is a huge system online that makes domain names possible. When you type google.com, DNS's of the world tell your browser what IP serves that site. BetOnline uses this DNS, as do we. http://www.who.is/whois/betonline.com/

The reason some of your browsers work and others don't is because browsers are smart enough to remember domain names. The problem is that they eventually need to go back to the DNS servers to confirm that the IP they have is the correct one; each browser "clearing its cache" at a different time.

According to easyDNS's twitter account, they look to have the problem fixed resolved but you might have to clear your browser cache. Usually a CTRL+F5 will do the trick.
