GoDaddy takes down GoDaddy

GoDaddy takes down GoDaddy

According to this story, and from our own tests, GoDaddy is down, and has been down for hours now.   This is affecting millions of sites and countless more email addresses.  If you can’t send email to someone with GoDaddy as a host, you will just need to wait it out for now.  We truly feel for the poor souls at GoDaddy customer support and all of those affected.

Update

Turns out it was internal problem and not an attack.  Updated title appropriately.
