Entering cornucopia3d.com now diverts you to that info.e-onsoftware.com server, so it looks like some address re-pointing is being done. Pity there is no "Learn about our downtime" section on the info site.... Doing a bit of nslookup investigation reveals that the IP address of cornucopia3d.com belongs to OVH Hosting, an internet service company, but that the IP of info.e-onsoftware.com belongs to Cloudflare, who are a cloud hosting service. Possibly they have always had that server in the cloud, but I would take a guess that they have been doing a spot of major service migration. Hopefully Cornucopia will be back soon.

Cloudflare sits between the site (a lot of sites) and the wider net. You see the Cloudflare IP because the request for the page is going through them, not because they host the site itself. A lot of sites use Cloudflare.
