The ESTA website is down for a few days now. What are the alternatives?

Accepted answer

Having tested with, I think, the same availability checker you used to create your image, I am now very confident that your problem is that you're trying to reach

http://esta.cbp.dhs.gov

That, indeed, will not work. Instead, use

https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov

You can add https:// in the I want to test box, and the test will succeed. Apparently, entering a bare domain name results in an HTTP connection attempt. The ESTA server does not respond to these, but it does respond to HTTPS connections.
