Gov.UK is back up too. They have a mandate from government to be able to provide emergency communications so I expect they did have a backup and have managed to switch over, but just took 30 mins to do so.
Gov.UK is supposed to be a bit like BBC 1 or Radio 1 – in a national emergency they can be taken over to disseminate critical information, like if there was a nuclear attack launched on the UK.
