My site is down. I did a security upgrade to it, and the charming fuckers at GoDaddy didn’t tell me in advance that it would shut me down for “15 minutes to 72 hours.” Thanks for nothing, guys!
UPDATED TO ADD: It’s back! It took several hours, but at least it wasn’t 72 hours.
Bastardos.
This exact thing happened to a friend of mine who hosts the site for his business on GoDaddy. Fuckers.
Which is why I don’t trust hosting sites that advertise with chicks with huge racks during Superbowl.
Un-reliable.
Seriously, Fab. I ended up there for a variety of weird reasons and because everything is usually functional, I haven’t wanted to go through the ordeal of moving the site to another service.
I haven’t been here for a while…
Congrats for your piece in Marie Claire and to your sister!
Thanks, PIB.
please not a semi-permanent shutdown 😉
Make sure, if you run off a database/cms system that you have your database backed up (or GoDaddy does it daily). My husband is a programmer and we’ve heard of a whole bunch of database driven sites getting hacked recently.
It’s been a huge mess.

Wendyb, stop pissing everyone off. Pretty soon you’ll have to do TV as the internet will boot you off totally.

Welcome back. You were missed!
Lucky your site is back up! I was wondering what happened.

it’s like you have an internet death wish!
first you talk shit about google and I think you remember what THEY did to you?! Now you are going mess with Go Daddy?
I guess at least we can text eachother when someone finally kicks your ass off the internets.
So pleased for you that normal service has been resumed-yay!!
Thank God, it’s back. I really understand you. That was out of your control and every minute is like super long xx
Those f**ckers!
Still waiting to get Marie Clare – its killing me not to read it online!!
GoDaddy is supposed to be the absolute worst hosting service. If you need help, my Webmaster (kid) is a certified computer genius and we could enlist him for you.
If might be easier than you think to change hosting.
Glad that now everything is in order 🙂
