GoDaddy Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  Joe Youngblood - SEO, Futurology, AI, Marketing (@YoungbloodJoe) reported 5 minutes ago

  As some of you know I've been battling a hacker on a few servers of ours (all SEO test websites, no clients) for several weeks now. We ultimately discovered the attacker infiltrated the server after a publicly disclosed @cPanel exploit in April. The servers are all at GoDaddy and were all patched 1 to 2 hours AFTER the hacker got in and made fake reseller accounts with full privileges and API tokens. We've fixed this but the attacker keeps getting back in on a routine basis that makes it appear the root server has been compromised. This is out of our depth. When we ask @GoDaddy to help us fix this they told us it wasn't their fault and are telling us to instead purchase new VPS servers, back up the servers and move them over to the new VPS - the problem is that: 1. GoDaddy never alerted us to this compromise or potential exploit, we had to find it on our own. 2. If we did what they ask, we would move the exploit to the new server. The only real way to fix this is to clean each site one by one and move them to a new server. We are talking hundreds of websites. It would take months to complete, all while the attacks can gain full server root access at any moment and delete anything they want.

  @GoDaddy @GoDaddyHelp I purchased a domain 3 days back which is a premium domain - I called today to cancel and the support staff blatantly denied that premium domains are non cancellable. But this doman contains trademark keywords of other brands.

  @Namecheap is still down and @NamecheapCEO is not speaking to whether it’s possible to migrate to @GoDaddy at this time. When we regain access to our livelihoods (if their servers come back up), can we set up a mass migration discount for NameCheap survivors moving to GoDaddy?

  @HederaCommunity GoDaddy running Agent Name Service in production since November. That's the internet noticing.

  Beyond frustrated with GoDaddy email host. Their advanced security did not catch a hack to my email last Thursday. When calling customer service, they were all very nice and polite and told me it would take 48 hours to resolve the issue. Today I still have the issue, and they asked to submit the information again, and it will take another 48 hours to resolve. Not so good.

  Absolutely terrible experience with @GoDaddyHelp My order is stuck in “pending.” Support now gave me a MUCH higher quote for the exact same services, saying price fluctuated. Instead of processing my original order, they’re giving excuses and pushing to pay more.

  Tobi Lütke: "Every 36 seconds someone gets their first sale. Jack Altman asks Tobi Lütke a simple question: for someone starting a small company, what is fundamentally different about 2029 versus 2023? Tobi's answer starts with a grievance about the last forty years of computing. "You techies talked about computers being these incredible things that can do anything," he says, imitating the small business owner. And then the owner tries it. "I don't know what you guys... you sound unhinged." The promise was real. The interface was the problem. "And now we can talk to it and it just does the thing, and it's incredible. It just works with me. I've expanded my business and I've hired all these people." For Tobi this isn't a side effect. It's the whole point: "It fits into Shopify's vision, because we want lots and lots and lots of small companies. And by the way, 60, 70, 80% depending on country of people in the economy work for small businesses. They are incredibly precious and important." So what should change by 2029? "You should sign up for more. You can follow your ambition further… [It's] going to get to a point where many, many, many more people can self-actualize." Then he offers the two data points he says he finds most meaningful. The first is a number: "Every 36 seconds someone gets their first sale which, while we're talking here, I think about what that means for how many people just became entrepreneurs." The second is a mental model. Tobi describes the beginning of every business as a series of hurdles: "Every single time we ship something where we know it meaningfully changes something about the early journey: the sign-up, the complexity, the questions, the friction in the business, each of them can be best thought of as a hurdle that someone has to jump over. And every single time we manage to make the hurdle slightly less high because we made something just vastly better… every single time you do this, more actual businesses come out of it, which then provide employment and so on." His example of a hurdle being lowered: domains. First you could register them. Then transfer them easily. "And in fact these days, [we] have an AI that you can share your browser tab and it helps you set up GoDaddy." Trivial-sounding. That's precisely the argument. The hurdles that kill companies are almost never the dramatic ones. They're administrative, early, and boring and they arrive before there is any momentum to absorb them: "People turn out early in the process if something happens that ends up being a governor for them, and then they null out. They give up and they stop and then the entire business doesn't exist." That's the cost nobody measures, businesses that were never attempted past the sign-up form. Which is why Tobi frames AI not as a productivity tool but as a hurdle-lowering machine: "AI never has there been such a thing that can be so supportive." The constraint on entrepreneurship was never ambition or talent. It was friction stacked at the front of the journey, where founders have the least conviction and the fewest resources. AI's contribution isn't making good companies better. It's making marginal companies exist at all.

  @nuclearpengy @GoDaddy Yeah. Nearly a month down the road with a domain redemption and GoDaddy just blame .co.za which isn’t true.

  @AlexejKirillov @ishmilly The problem is that the whole automated appraisal fetish is not going away. We don’t base our asking price on appraisals, but we also don’t need some buyer quoting a GoDaddy 23K appraisal for one of our seven-figure names. It happens all the time.
