Status Alert: Hey, all. We’re aware of the trouble people are having with our site. We’re working on it.

Today is not a good day for GoDaddy. At least they are aware of it. Twitter is currently blowing up with people trying to find more information. The first reports seems to be from 1:20pm EST, so Twitter seems to be having problems for almost an hour.
I tried calling GoDaddy’s customer support line and the phone just rings non-stop. It would seem as if I’m not the only person trying to get through to them. Or maybe their phone system is down too.
At this point it looks like every single GoDaddy service is inaccessible, including DNS, Email, Hosting etc… GoDaddy has responded to multiple tweets with a variation of “Sorry for any inconvenience. We’re aware and are working to resolve this quickly.”
Are you using GoDaddy? I use them to purchase domains, but I host them elsewhere.
“Bring your kid to work day” goes poorly as @godaddy children spill juice/pull plugs on servers.

Thankfully @godaddy won’t be held liable… they only guarentee a 99.99%* uptime.

I receive an error message early afternoon. I was transferring my website and everything just stopped. I was really mad. I lost money today ! I hope they have a really good reason.
