Nope.

Sounds to me like a browser hijacker. Something that forcibly redirects your browser from where you want to go to where it wants you to go.

From Microsoft:

How to remove a browser hijacker
If you observe any of the above signs or have reason to suspect that a browser hijacker has been installed on your device, try:

  • Clearing your system’s DNS cache to sever connections to malicious software programs.
  • Utilizing a program or tool that deletes browser hijackers and modifications or one that scans for and removes spyware.
  • Deleting suspicious programs, especially any you recently downloaded.
  • Resetting your browser homepage settings. In more extreme cases, uninstall and then reinstall your browser

No problems here, just can't reach the site occasionally. You might try clearing your cookies; if you get a rogue cookie sometimes it can cause this behavior. Then disable third-part cookies.
