Domain name registrar’s web site goes down.
[Updated story to reflect timeline as last night, not this morning. Note that if you still can’t reach GoDaddy.com it’s probably your ISP’s cache. You can test any site here to see if it’s just you. Also, if for some reason your Go Daddy hosting isn’t working, this is unrelated. You should call Go Daddy support.]
Customers trying to register new domain names or manage their accounts at GoDaddy.com last night hit a snag: the home page wasn’t working.
Everything is back to normal now after an outage lasting “several hours”.
Go Daddy CIO Neil Warner says the outage was not the result of any sort of attack and was the company’s own fault. It made some changes to the site this morning and this caused the home page to stop working. While it worked to resolve the problem the company forwarded GoDaddy.com to the company’s mobile site. The mobile site was operational and allows users to do many of the things they do at GoDaddy.com.
Warner said the outage clearly shouldn’t have lasted this long and he is investigating how it happened and how to avoid it in the future.

If GoDaddy.com is still down it’s probably your ISP’s cache.
Flick250.com is down, although is it actually hosted at GoDaddy? Has different nameservers.
Andrew Allemann says
I’ve confirmed with Go Daddy that the outage was only the GD web site, not the hosting service. If you’re having hosting problems it’s unrelated, so you should contact Go Daddy support.
