Turns out, not unrelated, and not a coincidence. The server has an
uptime of over 49 days, so it wasn't a server failure. They looked
into other causes for me.

Short version: I had put in a few pages before I discovered the "Live
preview" feature of the Wiki. I assumed it was a client-side visual
editor or preview (it is not). After effectively spamming the server
with traffic (new preview after I keep typing) the server temporarily
blocked my IP. That's why all my websites on their shared hosting went
"down." It resolved on its own when the block was lifted.

So that was self-inflicted. I'll stop using "Live preview" but they've
added my IP to a whitelist anyway.
