MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)
It works on Leopard for me. It has unusual script which may cause difficulties.
On Safari menu select Reset Safari, tick every box and then click Reset button.
Open Network preferences and change the first DNS server to 208.67.222.222
Restart you Mac.
In future avoid using too many tabs and Shut Down your Mac at least once a day.

Why? There's no need to use OpenDNS servers.

Why? My Mac runs for weeks without a restart.

That site loads fine on 10.9.1, as it should. Try looking at what extensions you've got installed. Disable them one by one, restart Safari and see if the site loads.
I used NameBench to test DNS server speed. Google public DNS server was marginally faster than OpenDNS for single items but my experience is that OpenDNS is faster for most modern web pages with multiple items. Both were considerably faster than anything else.
I am afraid that the modern trend of using many tabs and rarely shutting down has two problems. The tabs are very heavy on RAM. This may not be too much of a problem with 5 GB of RAM but it often results in slow downs caused by moving RAM contents on and off disk. Shutting down initiates some housekeeping and clears some caches.
Good point about extensions. I have very few and normally have them turned off.
Speed can be improved by turning off fraudulent sites and RSS and by restricting history to a week.

Mavericks uses memory compression to minimize swaps, but in any case the OP has neither said he has a problem with either speed or that he keeps open multiple browser tabs.
Seems the problem is related to opening one particular page. Chances are something either in extensions or plug-ins is blocking it, or some AV/monitoring software like Little Snitch. There's a few other unlikely possiblitilies I can think of, but without further info its hard to say.
From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. Test.
Have you tried to access this website from a different location? There is quite a bit that goes on behind the scenes to connect you to a website. Some of those behind-the-scene parts of the internet are currently in transition. Other people have no trouble with that website so whatever problem you are having may be related to your ISP rather than Mavericks. You can use OpenDNS instead of your ISP's DNS. That can isolate the problem. If it is DNS, then using OpenDSN will clearly identify and solve the problem. If not, then the problem could be somewhere else within your ISP, perhaps with its IPv6 support. You can check that by trying the website from a different ISP such as an Applestore or other public Wifi location.
Unable to open website on mavericks
