GoDaddy Hosting + Website Down?

I use GoDaddy hosting for a few of my sites and none of them are responding. I assume this problem is happening to a lot of people because I went to their site and the support time quote was unusually high, plus now at this minute I can't even access their site.

Anyone else being affected?

      Apparently GoDaddy has been hacked and it's taken down the sites of thousands or millions of people.

        I'm pretty sure they didn't get hacked.

        This was probably a DDOS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack.

        I have quite a few sites with GD and they were not responsive at the time either, they are all back up now.

    This has been discussed most of the day today. GoDaddy has been suffering a DNS DDOS attack. This affects pretty much any services using their DNS, from domain names to web hosting.

    Yes it is global, my site was down for about 4 hours today, thankfully mine are back-up. I hope everyone else's is up soon too.
