Paul, this seems to be a brand new site. Netcraft labels it "New Site",
meaning that it was never seen before by a Netcraft-loaded browser (maybe it
moved from one host to another). The reason you cannot see the Web site
would be a unalignment in DNS servers. It should work soon, maybe
sporadically at first.
Will, the site should be able to retain its position unless MSN has some
mechanism for promoting new sites temporarily, thereby giving them a chance
to stick. I don't know MSN well enough to give you an answer though.
Hope it helps,
Roy
