Re: Domain Problem
It seems that my host has registered the Dragnix.net domain for a single year (contrarily to what I instructed them to) instead of two. They fixed the problem and everything should return to normal very soon but this whole incident is perhaps a good example of "if you want something done right, do it yourself"...
Okay, maybe I'm a bit harsh on them as they fixed the problem very quickly and the damages were limited (the domain wasn't available to be bought by anyone else and no data was lost). But couple this with the fact that not a single PHP script was working from Dec-5 to Dec-7 because they screwed up the update to VDeck 3.0 (which apparently was just out of beta) and you can probably see why my patience is wearing thin.
At any rate, there are two domain names that can be used to access the website, Dragnix.net and Dragnix.org.

New domain: Dragnix.org
I have registered the name Dragnix.org and changed the links on the main page to the new address; everything is now redirected to the new domain and the website should work just like it was before. The only problem is that every link on every search engine are still pointing to dragnix.net so only people who use the main page to navigate the website will not be affected with the domain issue. As for the domain problem itself, I'm still not sure how long it will take for it to be fixed.

Domain Problem
Apparently there is a problem with the dragnix.net domain, as it now displays a generic message like when a domain is abandoned ("This domain is parked, pending renewal, or has expired"). I have contacted my host to see what is going on but at first glance, the timing for this kind of issue cannot be any worse; it's the eve of a weekend and just a few days away from Xmas. Hopefully, everything will be fixed over the weekend if not, I will have to think of something else to by-pass this problem.

New Server
The site was moved to another server (within the same host) during the past few days and the situation was only completely resolved earlier today. This was caused by a lack of disk space on the server which lead to the suspension of all 'write' operation (including the Sunday evening update and prevented me to warn people of the problem) in order to prevent data lost. This problem didn't affect mail as this is handled by different server.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
