Domains Made Easy / GoDaddy DNS outage – September 10, 2012

For those customers who use domainsmadeeasy as their DNS provider, you are likely seeing sporadic outages.  A hacker has claimed responsibility, but hasn't said why.  DomainsMadeEasy's phone is busy/down, so I haven't been able to talk to them to get an estimated uptime.

I suppose there is one reason to use the company I use for DNS (who have recently changed their policy to not allow me to tell you who that is?? Though you can simply look up who I have for nameservers...) instead - the domainsmadeeasy DNS is free with a domain registration, and I have to pay for the other provider, but they have handled pretty large attacks successfully in the past.
