This is a good example of why it's a good idea to host a website with one company while managing domain DNS from a different company and pointing it at the current webhost.

When the host goes down you can move a copy of your site to a new host and still access DNS information so that the site resolves to that new host.

A week offline is too much for any webhost to expect to stay in business.
