Some of you may already be aware, but the "Hacktivist" group Anonymous took down the GoDaddy hosting site last night and with it millions of websites around the world... GoDaddy Gets Taken Down

Apparently GoDaddy have sorted it out, but just to make you aware that it happened as it may have affected your site and emails sent to you may have bounced.

Cheers

What's wrong with these people?
When they were attacking major corporations I can see why they would get public support, but now they're taking down website hosts and hurting lots of small businesses and websites, I can't see them being very popular in the future.

GoDaddy previously supported the US SOPA bill which put them on the radar for abuse.

ANY host big or small can be susceptible to DDOS without proper mitigation tools, even then they're not infallible.

If GoDaddy did suffer a DDOS and try and deny it, I suspect Anonymous will soon re-iterate their point which would be very embarrassing for GoDaddy.

I have a couple of sites on GoDaddy and by sheer coincidence I was doing something through my account with them when I noticed they were down.

No great shakes, the world kept spinning and normal service is resumed.

I don't do anything complicated with them at all but if I ever have any issues, the exemplary customer service is matched only by Amazon IMHO.
