If you are unable to ping to your server, it does not necessarily mean that it is no longer working!
All Hostbasket dedicated (and shared) servers are protected by a firewall that does not allow pinging. We do this in order to protect your server against hackers. Hackers often ping a large number of IP addresses and if they get a response, they proceed by hacking the responding server
