Resolved SERVER OUTAGE - Godaddy Strikes Again

[exCanuck]

Our old server subscription that is not even used at Godaddy finally ran out yesterday, and when Godaddy ended it, they also set my connection for the opeforum.com domain name to PARKED without my permission.

That put our live forum site offline for the entire day.

Godaddy techies said they could not reset the DNS settings to what I had, so I had to get the cloud hosting server people in England to tell me what settings were required for their server. I just got their reply, and now I have reconnected the opeforum.com name to the Xenforo server.

If any of you seek Web server hosting, Godaddy should be avoided.

Happy posting.

Thanks for all you do. I was beginning to wonder who I pissed off to get booted.

After 20+ years of rambling around the internet, that name "godaddy" still makes me expect it to link to "NSFW" images.

So the joint isn't on sale for $99?

I had quite a few domains with godaddy from their inception in 2005 and it was good for about ten years before going down the toilet. I transferred all my domains out and never looked back!

Good to know, glad everything is back up and running today

I figured something was awry .Godaddy can kiss my behind .It's just internet piracy .

Man I was starting to get nervous. How was I ever going to know for sure what the best oil to run is??

 

[EFSM]

I thought it may have just been my computer that was messed up, but it's good to know it wasn't just me.

Hmmm. I think I have a few domains parked at godaddy. Does anyone have a registrar they can recommend?

The company I used to work for used GoDaddy for web registration. Worked good. But I knew when to renew everything and built the records myself. So I could fix things in minutes.

My team of 3 all desperately wanted to leave Network Solutions. Changes there were difficult and took way to long to do. They were a pain to deal with.
But GoDaddy is known as click hell since everything requires 3 or more clicks. But it works.

If you have an account, you should document all your DNS records. If not, then your web site host should do this. Things can be fixed in minutes if the person with the account knows what to enter or reenter or made a backup. It takes about 5 minutes for most changes to happen, expect email stuff.
