Much as I'd like to blame this one on the Great Satan (a.k.a. Go Daddy), think this one is something else. Looking at the info I can pry out, it seems they've got a dedicated server, and there's an issue with the database server on it. If that is indeed the case, I hope they have someone on staff who has admin experience, or it could be a lengthy outage. Consider this evidence for why shared hosting like we have, sluggish though it may sometimes be, has its advantages...

LOL!
Several years back I sat for 4 hours on the tarmac in a Northwest Airlines plane in Minneapolis because a construction crew inadvertently cut the cables to the communications network for the airport. Lovely summer afternoon that was.
