The site works for me too but I can't ping it either. I assume somewhere (likely in the datacenter of the site) pings and other services, protocols and maybe ports/portranges are simply blocked. That is often the case to prevent or fight a DDOS attack.

Not being able to reach the server while it's actually up is a different thing though. You can always use some net tools or pages to check if the sites are up or not. i.e. Domain Dossier
If it's up, then it's maybe a block in the DNS or IP. The former can be avoided by using a different DNS than the provider usually 'defaults'. There are a lot free DNS available, I prefer Google (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 - you have to change it in the router or in the connect string of the modem, maybe keep one of the providers DNS and one of the Google ones).

A proxy, like globalplayer suggested, works fine but with that you need a safe, trustworthy proxy and free ones which are, are rare. For just browsing without a login etc. most should be fine though.

For some pages there are mirrors which should provide the same content if they are synced regularily.

Apropos content: The newest post on the Linkwitz website is from the 20. december 2017 announcing his retirement and that he's stopping the sales.
