Technical support says "working on the problem" our dedicated servers are up, but shared server is down.

No it's not. I suspect DNS or routing issues. UPDATE I can't definitively say that it's not down; just the services we use. It sounds like you have more services with them than we do, so maybe portions of their system are down. [edited by: cmarshall at 6:11 pm (utc) on Mar. 11, 2007]

Yeah it's down. They have messages all over the godaddy.com site. Are you up? We have five sites on shared hosting, all are down, and I can't seem to do a temporary redirect to a dedicated server?

We just use them for domains, and that seems to be fine. See my update above. A week or so, ago, someone else posted that it had been hacked, but I think a gateway server somewhere was nailed.

Rumour has it, it's that they did not patch for DST....I guess we will see.

After dealing with Godaddy for shared servers and dedicated hosting, I can tell you this. It wouldn't surprise me.

2:40 on the east coast. Godaddy still down. Unreal.

Update. Spoke with Godaddy. They claim it is not a DST issue, but they have no idea what the problem is and no estimated time for how long it will take to bring back up. They told me it "appears to be a communication issue".

Man! Cannot access all my sites hosted by GoDaddy. Unbelievable!
I'm going to call them later and ask for a credit!

Yeah I'm going to as well. I've got about 20 sites and been with them for about 2 years. I guess I'll start moving off of them tomorrow.
I should have listened to people who warned me against hosting with them.
Oy'Vay!

My site too is down, I tried to call techsupport but got stuck in an answering machine...
I guess it's their DNS service since my sites domain name is the ONLY thing hosted there...

The rules for Daylight Savings Time changed in just 1/6th of the world's primary time zones, GoDaddy is located in a state unaffected by DST (Arizona), yet the WebmasterWorld home page declares, "Godaddy Muffs Day Light Savings Time Switch Over - Goes Down". Anyone care to back that claim up?

I don't know of any reason why a DST problem would crash a Web host. And patching it doesn't require any downtime other than a reboot.

Takes off glasses. Rubs eyes. I must have had some bad shellfish or something. I could swear that this thread was a Featured Home Page Discussion yesterday. Did its lack of empirical standing cause it to fall from grace?

http://www.cbronline.com/article_news.asp?guid=D137B95B-B05A-4838-A584-CD1DD71DDE26 | The Go Daddy Group Inc has been hit by a massive distributed denial of service attack that took down many of its customers' websites and other services for several hours. The company, the largest registrar of internet domain names and one of the largest web hosting providers, said it was the subject of "large-scale, sophisticated attacks" that lasted four to five hours.
Advertisement Services hosted at one of the company's data centers suffered sluggish or zero response times as a result. Its other data centers were unaffected. |

> Did its lack of empirical standing cause it to fall from grace? ya, it was flat out wrong info on /. The entire thread over there was wrong about the time switch. it had nothing to do with it.

| GoDaddy chief information security officer Neil Warner told us that the attack was a SYN flood that targeted a particular under-protected service. |

Not good, not good at all!

Why? Nothing GoDaddy did wrong here. That would be like calling the power company asking for a credit because Katrina knocked out your lights for 2 weeks,

They have made a lot of people angry with their ruthless policies. I would say they deserve more of the same from what they did to me and various other people. Feel sorry for the people who host with them.

There are two contradictory reports here: | "large-scale, sophisticated attacks" |
|
| the attack was a SYN flood that targeted a particular under-protected service |
|
If the problem was the latter rather than the former, then GoDaddy should take some blame for running an insecure service which is vulnerable to something as simplistic as a SYN flood.

> I would say they deserve more of the same from what they did to me [...] I ask, without antagonism, what did GoDaddy do to you that you feel the company should no longer exist? (In other words, thinking that punishments should fit crimes, what is their sin?)

We did something "wrong" in their eyes and suspended 22 domains and asked for $4000 to reinstate them as we were "spamming". In the end they charged $1000 "transfer fee" so we could get our sites back. So instead of blocking one domain they blocked them all because of greed. <snip> [edited by: trillianjedi at 8:08 pm (utc) on Mar. 12, 2007]

My go-daddy stuff is online (6:46pm EDT -0400) Begs a question -- my hosted sites have gross transfer caps -- what happens if this "attack" pushes me over my limit? -- am I responsible for the cost? Another thing, it's really easy for GD to say it's someone else rather than an internal issue, but then they do need to own up to it -- If I surpass my limit later this month (it certainly won't happen tomorrow), will they let it pass or hit me up for it?
