GoDaddy Goes Down, Anonymous Claims Responsibility 483
An anonymous reader writes "A member of the Anonymous hacktivist group appears to have taken down GoDaddy with a massive Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS). The widespread issue seems to be affecting countless websites and services around the world, although not for everyone. Godaddy.com is down, but so are some of the site's DNS servers, which means GoDaddy hosted e-mail accounts are down as well, and lots more. It's currently unclear if the servers are being unresponsive or if they are completely offline. Either way, the result is that if your DNS is hosted on GoDaddy, your site may also look as if it is down, because it cannot resolve."

I'm not moving my site. I will not be bullied around. I'm sticking with Godaddy and seeing this through. Besides, my site is only one narrow aspect of my online presence including social media and an image host/seller.
And Stockholm Syndrome sets in ...
