The current host name for this IP address is bootp-66.faunce2.brown.edu. From the traceroute, I'd guess that it is a computer on someone's desk, rather than a public server.  At the moment it is online, but is not responding to HTTP; so the webserver (software) is probably shut off. 
 
It is also possible that the author is assigned a dynamic IP address via DHCP, which would result in a different IP adddress every few months even if the computer were almost never shut down; and bootp-66 doesn't look like a very static hostname. 
 
If I am right and both the IP address and the hostname are non-static, even if somewhat persistant, it would not be an ideal computer for web publishing to say the least.
 
PTR


Dear PTR,

Please excuse my obvious ignorance of these matters.  Does this mean that it is unlikely at the present time that links to this site will be usable for long, and that I would be better off not counting on them?  Thanks for pursuing this for me!
