Given my 40 years in IT I kind of suspected that this would happen.
Much easier than blocking funding for ObamaCare.
Get a bunch of hackers, if necessary from overseas, to hack the system and flood it with ‘Denial of Service’ (DoS) attacks. We have had DoS attacks on other system.
This was SO, SO predictable. They had to have known.
Rank incompetence.
Did YOU KNOW that NASA’s $11 Million balloon-based mission (BRRISON) to study fast approaching Comet ISON failed this weekend because they couldn’t get the damn telescope to come out of its casing! Yep, $11 million down the drain. Not a single picture. Incompetence.
Amazing.

Just a heads up. I noticed it as soon as I got online at 11:30 am EST this morning. But, it works. Just takes ‘a minute’ before anything happens.
Also noticed the hits on my prior posts on slow e-mail.
So just a heads-up that you are not alone. I think that this will resolve itself in time. Possibly issues with one or more of the servers or GoDaddy is, yet again, the subject of a ‘denial of service’ attack that is sucking up bandwidth.
If it gets worse we will have to start calling.
All the best.

Over the last 10 days or so I have noticed 5 to 6 (on average) search queries a day on: “GoDaddy e-mail slow“.
Yes, we had noticed that it was a bit sluggish, but it was only a few minutes ago that it really became an issue for me. Yesterday or day before Deanna complained that her GoDaddy e-mail was so slow that it might as well be down. But, she managed to get what she wanted done.
This morning I encountered some major problems. It was definitely down for a few minutes. Plus it is slow — particularly when it comes to displaying e-mails and logging in.
From my decade and more of experience with GoDaddy e-mail this could be either due to one of two things: capacity problems on the server (processing or bandwidth) OR GoDaddy is yet again being subjected to a ‘Denial of Service‘ (DoS) attack that is slowing everything down. Knowing GoDaddy (as I do) I am fairly sure that they are aware of this problem and will fix it in the next couple of weeks. I will, of course, he monitoring it.
So, this is just a heads up. Best of luck. I know how frustrating this can be.
