log-in change breaking DNS?

    I changed my log-in name on Friday 7/26 and the site worked fine through the weekend, but now Monday morning the site is unavailable on the web and cannot be accessed via the dashboard. DNS seems to be broken because I cannot access the website or email attached to the domain. Would changing my log-in credentials three days earlier have this kind of impact?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    When I say I changed my log-in name, I mean I changed my username. Please, can any admins comment on whether changing a username could break the DNS? I selected the option NOT to create a matching blog address, which should only have changed the username and not made any changes to the blog address.

    The domain is entirely non-functional at this point, which means no website and no emails for multiple accounts under that domain.
