Not all servers provide a web page, even if they listen on that port
Keyserver ops ({hkp,http}://<server>/pks/...) should work fine

No, but replying to a direct message sent only to you via the mailing
list would be. ;-)
BTW, keyserver.gingerbear.net is a "mostly static" IP address. I never
know when Time-Warner will flip me into another net block. But it's
usually detected and DNS updated fairly soon after.
pool.sks-keyservers.net is what "I" prefer users advertise.
Once a key (or a key mod) is on one SKS server, it's spread to the rest
within a few minutes
You may also set preferred keyserver URL on your key. Details in the man
page.
