A bunch of our domains that we purchased through GoDaddy are not resolving, and the godaddy site is down.


Is anyone else experiencing this?

  • Yes, see here: http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...addy-down.html

    There's a search function at the top.
  • I read recently GD was hacked by Anonymous and they're working to fix the issue.
  • my advise:
    STAY away from Godaddy

    Why?
    Go Daddy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    SOPA issue + that dickhead CEO saying shooting elephants was a sport for real men and everybody should do that once in their lives.

    On top of that their support sucks, their registrar admin system really sucks and there are better (and cheaper) alternatives out there.

    Btw FxDomains.com (also owned by Godaddy) is down also

  • yep its down!
    hostgator took chance and is giving away discount on all plans
    6 months on business hosting for $0.01 so freaking cheap
    but it needs a coupon to redeem it

    • Yes the coupon is godaddyisdown and it also takes 50% off 1 year or more invoices.

      Update 09/12/12: That deal is now over. The 50% off hostgator discount coupon has expired.

    Is it possible?
    I think it is temporary not for always,
    it is reputed.

  • That's crazy! Imagine the money people have lost during this
  • Mine domains are working fine till now on the day when the Godaddy is down at tht day pur website os working fne dont know who has been targetted on tht day but anonymous said that they targetted small business websites.
  • I guess Godaddy eventually denied that it was a hack. I swear i saw an article saying that.
    But, i know that anon claimed responsibility, and there was some crazy stuff showing up in whois data.. Not sure if I completely believe their statement...

    Luckily, we had just finished our launch when our sites went down. But we did end up with some fussy customers who couldn't access their purchases..

    • That never happened. Just some amateurs who don't know how the WHOIS tool works. If you look up paypal.com, you'll get subdomains of other domains people have created starting with "paypal.com" (i.e. "paypal.com.lol.example.com") that are also in the .com zone file. That doesn't indicate PayPal's been hacked and isn't part of PayPal's WHOIS result.

      If you want only PayPal.com's actual record, you look up the FQDN, "paypal.com.". Note the period at the end.
  • Our site also experience down time for most of the day. Glad that issue has been resolved.
  • They are a big company . Sure this is not a good thing, but It may happen to any company . There are many people waiting for a little thing to say that GoDaddy is not a hosting network and everyone should not use them, but I totally disagree, They are just some competitors . Overally, GoDaddy is of very high quality

    • You do realize that by releasing the statement they did, they basically told you that they have been blatantly lying to their customers when it comes to redundancy. Sure, all of their nameservers might be on different subnets, but it means nothing if they're in the same datacenter.

      Their "we're sorry, here buy this" apology letter was nothing more than an upsell.

      As a result of this disruption, you will receive 30% off any new product or renewal.* Seriously? That's their apology? They should be issuing a credit, not trying to get you to buy more.

  • GoDaddy was very reliable 5 yrs ago . But not anymore
  • Come on, It could happen to any hosting company . GoDaddy is still my number one choice
