Request details: Remote: xvm-189-204.ghst.net (217.70.189.204) Request: HTTP/1.1 HEAD UA: downforeveryoneorjustme.com

Also sets the HTTP_ACCEPT header to /.

No referer or any other header.

This could be why it shows youtube as down:

curl -I -A "" www.youtube.com

curl -I -A "" www.google.com

I suggest to whoever made that site to put a user agent string in the request.
