It would be different if there was any change to the velobase.com credentials. There hasn't been as far as I can tell. GoDaddy is the registrar, probably has been since its inception in 2007. The current domain registration was updated a couple months ago and doesn't expire until next June:

It might also be different if poking your way through to the site actually took you to something which didn't look like Velobase, or which couldn't handle database queries.
