Have you looked at the default page that should be in the /web directory
for www.cbserves.com?
I'm not sure where the HTML is being generated but your server is
returning a JavaScript redirect to 444.
<BODY onLoad="location='http://'+location.host+':444/login/'">

Your DNS seems flaky. Sometimes it responds and sometimes it doesn't.
Did you just recently make changes to your whois and ns1.cbserves.com?
http://www.dnsreport.com/tools/dnsreport.ch?domain=cbserves.com is
having trouble reaching your nameserver.
"ERROR: ns1.cbserves.com. has a CNAME entry (www.cbserves.com.); it is
not valid to have a CNAME entry and NS entries for ns1.cbserves.com..
See RFC1912 2.4 and RFC2181 10.3 for more information."

Maybe fixing that will straighten out your problems.
