    Closing the doors to an online business even for a few minutes seems to be a bad idea for any website developer with substantial traffic. So why is GoDaddy.com's page looking like this:

    What do you suppose they're dealing with right now? Database errors? Server crashes? An alien invasion? A Decepticon brought the All Spark from Transformers into GoDaddy.com and now all of the tech gadgets turned into robots?!

    Of course it's not good in any way. Fortunately, I host my sites with other, serious company. I was down in 4 years only 2 hours. Once when they were doing network upgrade and one when my hdd experienced failure, but hdd was replaced within 20 minutes and everything retrieved from backup. If I was down for longer they would compensate any loss. This is how a reliable hosting company should work! Godaddy hosting is a crap.

    Danica Patrick crashed her Nascar into Godaddy.com lol
    Well GoDaddy are not that bad but they end up spending more on advertising and Danica Patrick rather than spending a little bit more on Technical issues or passing the discount on regular users. GoDaddy could go miles only if they change their strategy.

    Plus I don't think Danica Patrick is that hot either. I am so sick of seeing her again and again. I will appreciate if they could hire Charlize Theron
