Anybody experiencing issues with GoDaddy?
My reseller account is down and I cannot reach their main site. |

I wouldn't jump to conclusions just yet.
It could be anything, not necessarily a attack. Maybe they have power issues, or issues with network equipment, or made a mistake with a software role-out. Or maybe it is an attack indeed.
Pure speculation without a update from them. |

According to the Anonymous twitter page, it's solely DNS that is affected. All of those are down. The servers are reachable through IP. |
| Posted by NHRoel, 09-10-2012, 03:18 PM |
GoDaddy, one of the world's largest domain registrar and web host has had both their and their customer servers taken down by a hacker known as AnonymousOwn3r. We're seeing a lot of dark sites, all of which are hosted on any number of nsxx.domaincontrol.com authoritative servers.
GoDaddy has issued a statement saying they are "aware of the trouble people are having with our site. We're working on it."
When asked about his actions, AnonymousOwn3r responded: "I'm taking godaddy down bacause well i'd like to test how the cyber security is safe and for more reasons that i can not talk now."
AnonymousOwn3r seems to be a recent re-id (when an existing hacker re-brands themselves to maintain anonymity) of an existing member of Anonymous who had gone underground after recent arrests and indictments by the FBI.
The attack vectors are still unknown at this time, however initial analysis indicates the issue may go beyond strictly DNS issues. |
| Posted by CD Burnt, 09-10-2012, 03:19 PM |
their auction pages are working for me.
I should note that I was on their auction site earlier today, so I might be getting the benefit of cached dns info.
I checked via a proxy, and it did not load.
I bet there are some auction snipers that are frustrated right now.
fwiw, a website that is on godaddy hosting, but using enom nameservers, is up. had not been to it in a while, so it was not dns cached, and is up via a proxy, too. |

Kind of too late to give a generic reply when everyone knows whats going on.
It would be cooler if you could paste in some operational traffic graphs for fun while all of your customers wait. |

It's an appropriate acknowledgement of this conversation. They recognized that the WHT community is on top of this, but can't do/say much at this time. It was nice of Mike to chime in, and once they've put their efforts to sorting this out, I'm sure we'll get a more thorough reply.
I'm most interested in learning whether the hacking reports and alleged sources of the outages are accurate. We'll find out one way or another (PLENTY of WHT members are plugged into the right people to get a straight answer on this), and I hope GoDaddy will dish a straight response on exactly what took place after they've cleared the issue. |

Then...?
"They" took down government websites, hacked PSN, took down PayPal, attacked MasterCard and deliverd trouble to online transactions. "They" are powerful, and with power comes responsibility. But unfortunately, not everyone can handle that. GoDaddy is big but it's just like anything else: a service using the internet and thus prone to denial of service. |

I actually do not believe it was a DDoS. DNS Poisoning sounds more likely (if it was an attack). It would take a very well planned out series of events to cause a DDoS of this scale. |

This number is hard to calculate. The problem is that many sites are in agreement that millions of websites are impacted. If any of these websites are online business/stores and even other webhosts, the number of users impacted exponentially grows. |

Yea. That's my concern. Nobody is protected after seeing what LulSec did to the different sectors. How many more times will something like this happen until we find ways to mitigate or even avoid the DoS in the first place.
Jailing those involved is one thing but takes us back to to security through obscurity. I guess my point is if it can happen to the big guns the rest of us are screwed. Maybe this is the proper place for discussion; how do we put an end to this? |

Glad I switched one of my domains from Godaddy to Name. Can't see how anyone would want to use Godaddy's poor interface. I'm pretty sure I said that 3 years ago on these very forums as well.

Though it should not matter since WHT does not seem to be using GoDaddy's DNS systems, which are the ones affected.
Hope you're fine by the way mate.
The "52 million websites" does not imply that all 52 million also use their DNS. Next to that, there are also website not hosted with GD that do use their DNS and will also be affected. You won't figure out the exact number unless GoDaddy is happy to disclose it. Which I doubt they will. "Millions" just has a nice ring to it eh.
I hope for those affected that it will be sorted soon. |
| Posted by webtech84, 09-10-2012, 05:23 PM |
It doesnt matter if its hosted or just registered at godaddy, as their whois and dns servers are also not responding.
whois webhostingtalk.com

This means just having your domain name registered there, even if hosted elsewhere will cause it to be unresolved as is the case with WHT, as itlooks to be resolving only intermittently at the moment. |

I was joust going to post what people are saying about this.
Seems to be the hot topic with lots of godaddy domains and hosting customers out of sites for the last 2 hours.
Also a rumour of a DDOS attack. Only what I "hear". Anyone with actual info can fill in the blanks here.
I am glad I moved all my domain services away from them, or I might have been up a creek. |

Not true - whois isn't used for resolution at all. The whois data just happens to include the nameserver data, but the actual resolution is kept in the NS records at the respective registry operators, so those with domains registered at GoDaddy but with nameservers elsewhere should be fine. |

Loving the maintenance page for Godaddy right now.
I actually LOLed at this.

Danica Patrick, racing star!
Thanks Danica. I'll sleep better tonight knowing you're on the job
She even signed it. It's valuable service outage memorabilia. I'm selling my screen shot on eBay! |

What actually got me was that they say "some clients". It seems rather odd to me that with their entire DNS systems down, "some" is a bit of a stretch. 
Either way, good to see some activity again. Hope everyone is back up soon
Good luck to everyone affected. |

They're going and coming so maybe they can get it fixed soon for all their clients. |

That amused me too. Even on a maintenance page during a major outage, they had to get a girl in.

I just did a copy and paste from a friend. I could care less about GD as a company but I do feel sorry for all their customers.
I'm sure it's costing a lot of people a lot of money that has business sites with them and this is not good. |

DanL what do you get when you put in http://97.74.104.201
you should get some kind of response.... |

More progress has been made, and we are still investigating and working on it. |

I still get the godaddy is down message. I flushed dns and cache and still nothing. I'm sure they're working on it. |
| Posted by real_skinner, 09-10-2012, 06:31 PM |
They just twitted... "Update: More progress has been made. We're still investigating and working, though."
Hope everyone is fine now. |

Many of my colleagues are still down... he're hoping for near uptime and (as mean as this might sound) better hosting for all. SOPA/PIPA will lead to the death of the internet, and it seems to be the target. |
| Posted by OnePoundHost, 09-10-2012, 06:36 PM |
Suprised to hear about this, hopefully we'll see godaddy and their clients back online soon.
Always considered godaddy to be a reliable host, did not see this coming. |

DanL maybe try deleting your cookies and cache
and try the ip address again.
I tried the ipaddress on another machine and it works there too. |

Did that long before I responded, it doesn't really matter, this only effects me because my clients keep calling thinking something is wrong with my services when it's godaddy. |

Using IP may not work for many as it takes you to www.godaddy.com and it won't resolve.
Try using the entry in host file of your PC. |

I am glad I did not have any major sites on godaddy and still maintain a dedicated server...
But still I was a little effected because the domains still have the dns lookup there.

Most customer hosted sites are back online. We're working out the last few kinks for our site & control centers. No customer data was compromised. |

Hello Mike,
First, I am very glad to hear that everything is coming up, I am sure you all could use a nap by now.
Do you yet know what happened. |

Once we have a full wrapup statement for this issue I will let you know. It should be on our site sometime soon. |

I am neither a fan of any of these new acts (be it SOPA, PIPA, ACTA or most recently CETA) nor of godaddy (not too fond of their chauvinistic elephant and leopard killer or their business practices) but I nonetheless have to say these actions are rather childish and counter productive. If they achieve anything that it is in most cases the exact opposite of what they want to stand for plus a huge annoyance for completely unrelated people. |

If that was not Anonymous, GoDaddy had a really big mess up then. The router tables got corrupted? Do they have only one router for everything? |

I would assume they had several running in a massive cluster. The problem is that a change made to 1 router could propagate to all of the other routers. |

There are likely leaders simply covering themselves up. The whole concept of anyone can join Anonymous yet the instant someone claims to have done something as Anonymous and suddenly tweets and blog posts come out claiming it wasn't them contradicts it.
I do find the amount of news sites claiming they were attacked or hacked to be quite amusing when there was no actual evidence. |

Sorry There is no way I believe Just that, It had to of been "anonymous" or something, that outage was too long to be a router issue. |

If it was a hack, and GoDaddy is lying, then expect more to be released soon (username/password list, etc).
Sad thing is, it might not be GoDaddy as a company lying, but incompetent net admins trying to cover their own tracks by lying. Companies have to go off of what they're told, and if its a lie, they will suffer more. :/ |
| Posted by Simplex-Ed, 09-11-2012, 05:21 PM |
This begs the question, what's worse -- GoDaddy screwing up BGP or somebody launching an attack to their DNS network big enough to cripple it?
Though I do genuinely think it wasn't a DDoS attack from Anonymous, rather a problem caused by themselves.

Disregard these Tweets...
Until I see solid facts, Anonymous has nothing to do with this as far as I'm concerned. This Anonymous folk is frantically trying to scramble together something to save his story that he was behind this.

Well, it doesn't matter what they say, people will believe them anyway, I mean they have GoDaddy Girls...GODADDY GIRLS, ON TV! Seriously though, they could release this as a statement and it would be right on par http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFtiE...tailpage#t=60s |

To be honest its understandable, Telstra, one of Australias largest ISP's went offline when they accepted routes from a very small ISP. Routed all data through Dodo Internet...
Routing errors happen. |

I have multiple sites on Godaddy, which suffered an outage along with everyone else.
The outage lasted a few hours, the problem was communicated to me, when services were restored I was given an explanation and credits for each site.
Compare that to one of my other hosting companies, nexpoint.net. On nexpoint, my hosted sites are down over 3 weeks and counting. I have yet to receive a clear communication from the company, and I have no ETA for return to service.
And some people are complaining about godaddy?
I can't thank them enough. |

Comparing this to three weeks is not exactly the best example. Three weeks is unacceptable (and I would have switched host a long time ago) and only common among scammer but not even an exception among regular decent hosts.
Even though the circumstances are not fully known yet, they might have handled it well though (with their number of clients you should expect that however) but it still does not change the fact that godaddy has an overall bad reputation in many different areas. |

I envy your patience.
If I had a downtime at any provider, no clear communication means/no ETAs, then the first 2 hours of the outage would be my last hours at that provider - I'd have all my resources moved and active somewhere else.
The fact that there are horrible providers able to keep silent for weeks doesn't make an excuse for GoDaddy. |
