Millions of Sites Down with Godaddy

[Crabcake Johnny]

Godaddy is basically down - millions affected, no email, no website - anon is claiming responsibility:

A *member* of anonymous is claiming responsibility.

They're saying it's a DOS attack.

WTF is a DOSS attack? I thought we were in the age of windows?

Strange. One of my national sites is not hosted by GoDaddy but the domain is registered there. And instead of 5-10 completed lead forms each day...none today and none yesterday. Coincidence?

DOS = denial of service attack.

I have a site that's not hosted through Godaddy but I use domain masking through Godaddy. It's unavailable. From reading, they're having an IP issue.

Yup....fun day...I just switched some sites to godaddy after having never ending problems with justhost.

switching back to the old mom and pop hosts....never had sites down as often as the big hosts.

Anyone looking for a good registrar can check out expertsrs.com. I like hostgator a lot (affiliate link).

My godaddy site and email are down. Email is intermittent. Lost much of my morning trying to figure out what was wrong with Outlook before I found out it was godaddy.

It must only be domain names with the Godaddy nameservers. All of my domains are registered at Godaddy, but I have hosting elsewhere and my sites are all online.

One of my client's websites has their domain name with another registrar, but their hosting is with Godaddy and their site is online.
