GoDaddy, the world’s largest domain registrar and one of the biggest web hosts, is experiencing major downtime.

The main GoDaddy.com domain is unreachable and websites hosted by GoDaddy are also down. The more problematic part is that any domain registered with GoDaddy that uses its nameservers and DNS records are also down. That means that even if you host your site elsewhere, using GoDaddy for DNS means it is inaccessible.

On Twitter, Anonymous Own3r — the security leader of Anonymous — is taking personal responsibility for the attack.

Do other web hosting companies get hacked as much as GoDaddy does?

This isn't the first time hearing of them getting hacked.

Godaddy knows hot to get satisfaction services to their consumers so I don't think it could harm to it's brand name.

:confused: that hack/DDOS damaged the reputation of a lot of sites, this will turn out as bad as the SOPA thing for the. Don't know why people use GoDaddy to start off with, Namecheap is way better.
