Define "has sucked." There are numerous hosts that are consistently voted better than godaddy (BlueHost, HostGator, DreamHost, etc). FWIW, I've been the owner of websites for years (when I was 13-14 I would make ~$200/month off of advertising alone).

IMHO: if you as a business owner (I am assuming most people have websites to bring in some sort of revenue) will not stand for liberties on the web, and you'd trust a webhost with your revenue, who is vocal on regulating the net and standing against freedom on the net, then you are taking a step backward for this movement and for freedom altogether.

If you can not stand for liberty in your most personal lives... you will fail to do so outside of your personal life.

Your nameserver/ip info has already spread throughout the Web, so the only thing you cannot do is update; Sites hosted elsewhere are still working.

http://techcrunch.com/2012/09/10/godaddy-outage-takes-down-millions-of-sites/

A tipster tells us that the technical reason for the failure is being caused by the inaccessibility of GoDaddy’s DNS servers — specifically CNS1.SECURESERVER.NET, CNS2.SECURESERVER.NET, and CNS3.SECURESERVER.NET are failing to resolve.

AnonymousOwn3r’s bio reads “Security leader of #Anonymous (~Official member~).” The individual claims to be from Brazil, and hasn’t issued a statement as to why GoDaddy was targeted.

Last year GoDaddy was pressured into opposing SOPA as customers transferred domains off the service, and the company has been the center of a few other controversies. However, AnonymousOwn3r has tweeted “I’m not anti go daddy, you guys will undestand because i did this attack.”

Primarily DNS (Domain Name Service). Basically it allows you to type in ronpaulforums.com instead of: 67.225.158.173

GoDaddy Denies it Was Hacked

GoDaddy’s interim CEO denied in a blog post on Tuesday that Monday’s lengthy service outage was the result of a hack. Instead, he claimed it was caused by network issues.

“The service outage was not caused by external influences,” wrote GoDaddy’s Scott Wagner. “It was not a ‘hack’ and it was not a denial of service attack (DDoS). We have determined the service outage was due to a series of internal network events that corrupted router data tables.”

Wagner also stressed that “at no time was any customer data at risk or were any of our systems compromised.”

GoDaddy.com and thousands of sites hosted by or registered with the company all suffered outages beginning Monday morning. The problems lasted for about six hours before service was fully restored, according to GoDaddy.

Anonymous member AnonymousOwn3r took credit for an attack he or she claims to have caused the outage.

Throughout Monday, GoDaddy’s customer service team dealt with thousands of customers angry over the outage.

See GoDaddy’s full release denying it was hacked here. How did the GoDaddy outage affect you?

Go Daddy Site Outage Investigation Completed
http://www.godaddy.com/newscenter/release-view.aspx?news_item_id=410

Yesterday, GoDaddy.com and many of our customers experienced intermittent service outages starting shortly after 10 a.m. PDT. Service was fully restored by 4 p.m. PDT.

The service outage was not caused by external influences. It was not a "hack" and it was not a denial of service attack (DDoS). We have determined the service outage was due to a series of internal network events that corrupted router data tables. Once the issues were identified, we took corrective actions to restore services for our customers and GoDaddy.com. We have implemented measures to prevent this from occurring again.

At no time was any customer data at risk or were any of our systems compromised.

Throughout our history, we have provided 99.999% uptime in our DNS infrastructure. This is the level our customers expect from us and the level we expect of ourselves. We have let our customers down and we know it.

We take our business and our customers' businesses very seriously. We apologize to our customers for these events and thank them for their patience.

- Scott Wagner Go Daddy Interim CEO

(Anyone believe him?)

Hay, I've F'd up a DNS database before (not on purpose). It's not at all hard to do. There is a huge difference between a ":" and a ";" and when your phone lines start lighting up and upper management starts closing rapidly on your cubical - your first thought is usually "did I make a typo"?

It also takes minutes to find and correct, not 6-7 hours...

Syntax check trice, before hitting submit and knocking half your organization off line... (ooops!)

So what really happened here?

http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/262142/godaddy_blames_outage_on_corrupted_router_tables.h tml

According to Wagner, a series of unspecified "internal network events" took place that corrupted the company's router data tables. Network routers keep tables listing host addresses as well as all the intermediate hops that data packets must take to reach their destinations. Without this information on Internet routers, websites, email hosts and other domain-name-based Internet services may be unreachable.

NO! - IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN THAT WAY!

This outage impacted not only users of GoDaddy's own Web hosting and email services, but also many Web sites with domain names registered through GoDaddy but hosted elsewhere, due to the fact that such websites were primarily located by consulting GoDaddy's Domain Name System (DNS) servers. GoDaddy maintains records for over 53 million domain names, according to the company.

...

The company temporarily had competing registrar VeriSign to handle its DNS services during the outage.

Customer information, such as credit card information, was not compromised any anytime during the outage, GoDaddy said.

@AnonymousOwn3r did not immediately respond to GoDaddy's statement. GoDaddy did not immediately respond to a request for more technical information about the cause of the corrupted tables.

I assume it is only registered at godaddy and not hosted at godaddy. I have some domains registered at godaddy because ownership is easily transferred there. (pushed, without a renewal.) Registrar and hosting are two different things, though. It was their hosting (DNS) that was attacked supposedly.

Then I need to do more research. I thought there was a root domain registry and everything else flowed from that regarding registrar, dns changes, etc. I don't like godaddy as a registrar, either... I probably work with 8-9 registrars at the moment, usually due to convenience in purchasing. I think moniker has been the best registrar for quite some time now, and I wish I could piss all over enom, even though I would have recommended them 6-7 years ago.
