“Things are restored,” Go Daddy spokeswoman Elizabeth Driscoll told CNET just before 5 p.m. PT today.
She did say the outage started just after 10 a.m. PT today.
The companyupdated its Twitter feedwith this: “We’re still working.
Getting closer to normal.
Thanks for all your patience and understanding.”
We’re aware of the trouble people are having with our site.
We’re working on it.
We understand your frustration.
We’re working feverishly to resolve as soon as possible."
The Go Daddy site itself was accessible earlier today for CNET but was down at last check.
Twitter users were complaining that numerous sites hosted by the company were inaccessible.
