The intermittent service disruptions we experienced Sunday morning were
due to DDOS attacks and&nbsp;had nothing to do with the switch to DST.&nbsp;Please see the statement of Neil Warner, our Chief Information Security Officer:&nbsp;</div>

"Several registrants alerted us to this piece in PC World reporting
on<BR>
concerns that GoDaddy might not be ready for the DST changeover.
Some<BR>readers, and others, claimed that GoDaddy's servers are not reachable<BR>
now and are not serving email or web sites; but others see no
evidence<BR>of<BR>
this. The article recounts the rather flip response one GoDaddy
customer<BR><BR>
got from their tech support: "As Daylight Savings [sic] does not
apply<BR>to<BR>
our servers, since we are on Arizona Time and our time zone does
not<BR>change, our servers wouldn't update." When IDG News Service contacted<BR>GoDaddy they got an altogether more sensible reply."<BR><BR>Regards,<BR><BR>--<BR>Jeffrey A. Williams<BR>
