Re: GoDaddy outage: Hosted websites and email are down.
1:14 Pacific Update: GoDaddy just posted "So many messages, can't get to you all... Sorry to hear all your frustration. We're working feverishly to resolve as soon as possible."
The hacker group Anonymous is taking credit for attacking GoDaddy and bringing them down. I hope they realize they are hurting thousands of small businesses in the process.

Yikes! It looks like GoDaddy sites are still down as of 5:10pm ET.
I'm curious, is this affecting any small business owners in our community?

And has GoDaddy offered some sort of compensation for the outages?

Re: GoDaddy outage: Hosted websites and email are down.
I'd forgotten that they supported SOPA and PIPA. Now I remember why I didn't host with them. I guess I'm on the fence here, stuck between "You Anonymous people are naughty" and "YAY! Hit those bleepards!"
Even before any of this happened though, I thought that folks should take their business elsewhere and not host with GoDaddy. Hostmonster has been awesome to me, and they're who I usually recommend. Nosupportlinuxhosting.com too, but not for people with no Linux experience.

Did they ever figure out what the outage was caused by?

The CEO said that the problem originated due to routing tables errors. Whether this is true or not, we' will never find out.
The problem for affected businesses could be avoided with redundancy in design. In this case SOA DNS servers redundancy.

Ways to Make Your Search More Accurate
Most of the time, you just want to find content that has a particular phrase. Here are the easiest ways to find the content you want.
-
Enclose your search phrase in quotes. Search will try to find content with those words in the order you enclosed them. A search for "marketing advice" is going to return content with the phrase "marketing advice".
-
Search for content that has certain words, but not necessarily all of the words in order. This is the most basic search. Simply enter your search terms. For example: accept credit cards This will search for documents containing the words accept, credit, and cards
-
Using OR. The OR operator links two terms and finds a matching document if either of the terms exist in a document. To search for documents that contain either "web design" or just "online marketing" use the query: "web design" OR "online marketing"
- Using AND. The AND operator says that the search should return content in which all of the search terms are present. To search for documents that contain both "web design" and just "online marketing" use a search like this: "web design" AND "online marketing"
