[ale] Godaddy outage

[Scott Plante]

Yes, we use GoDaddy for registration but not DNS nor hosting and we were unaffected. Our one client who was affected used them for registration and DNS, but not hosting and they were affected. It was just name resolution though, you could still access their externally hosted site by IP of course. I don't know anyone who was hosting with GoDaddy. You couldn't get to godaddy.com but I didn't know their IP to try that. 


I imagine someone's in big trouble, if not fired, over that one.

I know one group with DNS by GoDaddy but hosting elsewhere has been affected. All machines are still reachable via IP address, of course. Speaking of which, anyone know if GoDaddy hosted sites can be reached by IP?

Been following this... Their DNS servers are impacted. Hosting servers 
indeterminate. Claims are made that #Anonymous3 down in Brazil is 
behind this for one reason or another but no one else from Anonymous has 
stepped up to the plate and claimed responsibility. Looks to be a loose 
cannon with a wild hair at this point... 

If you are using them as a registrar but are managing your own DNS then 
you do not seem to be impacted at this time. 

If you are using their DNS servers then you are probably impacted 
whether you are hosting with them or not. 

If you are using their hosting services but managing your own DNS, 
please let us know. I have no data points on this curve.
