Go Daddy is Down for Self-hosted

Say, I just learned that Go Daddy has had major problems. I use Go Daddy, and my self-hosted server is down right now. Here is a link to a news article: http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-501465_162-57509744-501465/godaddy-goes-down-anonymous-claims-responsibility/

Maybe their hunting elephants? Bad joke if you're unaware of their past. We've used GD for domain name registrations for quite sometime but stopped using them for hosting awhile ago. Lucky I guess? Bummer.

I hear you David, bad elephant karma. Never had issues with EasyCgi but opened new account for BT. You're with the best now eh? RS? Lost a few deals to them, won a couple as well though.

My self-hosted server is back up already. I started with GoDaddy several years ago--I should have done more research as I don't like their advertising. I hadn't heard about the hunting elephants, but that is every more sad. On the other hand, except for this last situation, I have had great service from them. Believe me, I have called and asked them a lot of newbie questions over the last couple of years, and they have always given me great customer service.

Great service is great but it's all about the five 9's! I am in total agreement with you Susan.

I had no problem installing. It all installed at once. I forgot where I found them, but somewhere on the forum are GoDaddy instructions. Good luck!

I totally left them because of that killer!!!!! Bluehost is the best!!!! But guys really ...try FileZilla you will find that is so much more user easier with file transfers.

You should use a monitoring tool like www.downnotifier.com to make sure you always know the performance of your host.
