Now this new site is showing:
E-ticket service is temporarily stopped.

I am sure, it was launched to keep words of Mamta Banerjee and now stopped because of external pressure!

I had registered on that website, It took me 4 attempts to login, and used to support only SBI cards.

It has been showing stopped since about a week if I remember correctly. When I saw it I assumed it was a downtime of a few hours.
Is this going to be somewhat similar to Twitter several years ago where it used to go down as often as it was up?

Amazingly, if you had booked a ticket in this new portal back when it was up and hadn't saved the e-ticket/electronic reservation slip, you cannot print the actual ticket now. You can print the email or SMS and hope that the TTE will be fine with it.
With an IRCTC e-ticket, the rule is that if you don't show the e-ticket to the TTE for any reason, the TTE can verify you from the ID proof and then charge you Rs 50 for not showing the ticket. Without ID on an e-ticket you are a ticketless passenger. I don't know if all TTEs know about this and if the same is true with the new portal too.
If the TTE is not fine with just the printout of an email or SMS and treats you as a ticketless passenger, things can get pretty interesting. You'll probably have to pay full fare again in the train (hopefully you'll have the amount); after the journey you can either go the TDR route or complain to the ticketing managers in a major station you're nearest to to get back the extra money you paid. If you go by the TDR route, you'll probably be able to get at least half of the money back /if/ you are able to file a TDR. A TDR for an e-ticket can only be filed online from the portal you booked.
