    Another good reason to separate your domain registrar from your hosting provider. I like GoDaddy because of the coupons and discounts to purchase domains, but I do not use them for hosting. If you keep everything in one place, and something catastrophic happens, then you've lost all of your work.

    After RTFM this looks like less of a problem with GoDaddy and more of a problem with SQL injection and insecure software configs for WordPress, phpBB, Drupal, and others. Maybe this will provide more motivation for people to move toward dedicated instead of shared hosting. Sometimes you want more control over the web server than shared hosting will allow.
