I'm there quite frequently, having three wikis there, and haven't
noticed any problems. I looked through their news where they post
problems but I couldn't see anything related.

Just tried the same you did:

$ time host www.wikidot.org
www.wikidot.org is an alias for wikidot.com.
wikidot.com has address 67.228.37.26
wikidot.com mail is handled by 1 ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.com.
wikidot.com mail is handled by 5 ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.com.
wikidot.com mail is handled by 5 ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.com.
wikidot.com mail is handled by 10 ASPMX2.GOOGLEMAIL.com.
wikidot.com mail is handled by 10 ASPMX3.GOOGLEMAIL.com.
wikidot.com mail is handled by 10 ASPMX4.GOOGLEMAIL.com.
wikidot.com mail is handled by 10 ASPMX5.GOOGLEMAIL.com.

real	0m0.353s
user	0m0.004s
