    I just got off the phone with Godaddy and they are saying that the sites are still up you just cant view them if you get internet from Comcast Cable.

    They are also claiming that this has happen before. They claim that Comcast is blocking them. Nothing can be done, it is in Comcasts hands.

    Yes, it is back now and after some calls I found out it was Comcast too. Nice. This sort of event really makes me feel sick and powerless. I don't like relying on these big companies for everything.

    Glad your back up...

    I can log into godaddy and also my ftp account, but I can not access my websites in a web browser.. I am not sure if it just my site or if it affecting a few people.. I have been with Godaddy for about a year and a half and this is the first time (that I know of) that my site has been down..
    Is any body else having trouble reaching there godaddy hosted sites?
    And just to make sure it is not at my end, would someone please try and access www.jameswatt.org or www.uvrx.com and let me know!?
    It has been a couple of hours now, and I am not sure what else I can do..
    Thanks in advance

    Cheers
    James

    Tattoos,

    I was just able to reach both your sites fine. It is 11:33pm CST.

    PS. Not to get off topic, but UVRX.com is a great domain. You should put some skin care stuff on there or Cancer treatment or something. ;)

    They have been having intermitent problems for the last 2 days.
    The more serious problems have been with valueweb and gate hosting (which are owned by the same company)

    I tried to renew one of my domains for 9 more years for a hour on Tuesday without any luck. Their shopping cart kept coming up empty when I went to pay.

    Thanks guys.. I should have updated.
    My sites sprung back in to life around 11pm my time.. (about 40 mins after I posted), I did send of an email to godaddy about an hour after the sites went down and I received one back when I checked this morning saying that they could not replicate the problem :rolleyes:
    So I guess it must have fixed itself.
    This is the first time I have noticed it happen so I guess it ain't to bad going..

    EDIT: and just to add, After I posted, I started searching for a way to find out if the site was down for everybody or just me..
    And I came across this place. http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/

    Cheers
    James

    PS Thanks Tom.. I hadn't thought of that.. I have had it for a while now but only just started playing with it on Monday.. I may look into that. :D
