Confirmed

Ok. Now is confirmed, they really have a problem with the DNS servers, seems this is caused because of time switch.

Seems that after I have switched my domains form NS1.SECURESERVER.NET and NS2.SECURESERVER.NET to NS5.SECURESERVER.NET and NS6.SECURESERVER.NET my site is up and running now. It take some time but I minimize my downtime.

Seems that the NS5.SECURESERVER.NET and NS6.SECURESERVER.NET name server wasn't affected so after.

goDaddy dns down ?

I had some of my domains at goDaddy. They host my DNS and also the web server. So usually I don't have any problems sleeping.. because I know that is always up and running without problems.
Today I have tried to access one of my sites and I had the surprise to see that is down. I tried a few times and after that I started investigating. The default configuration for my domains is to delegate NS1.SECURESERVER.NET and NS2.SECURESERVER.NET as name servers. I have tried to ping them and everything is OK So I made a dig on that servers and ....nothing ....

#dig ns  NS1.SECURESERVER.NET @NS1.SECURESERVER.NET
;; Truncated, retrying in TCP mode.

; <<>> DiG 9.3.4 <<>> ns NS1.SECURESERVER.NET @NS1.SECURESERVER.NET
; (1 server found)
;; global options:  printcmd
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

I checked the rest of the name servers NS5.SECURESERVER.NET and NS6.SECURESERVER.NET and they re working just fine. I checked my configuration for the DNS servers NS1.SECURESERVER.NET and NS2.SECURESERVER.NET are no longer the "Default Hosting Nameservers" and I have to change them manually to NS5 and 6.

Also I checked some other sites that I also know that are hosted at goDaddy and seem to be down also.

Am I crazy or godaddy name servers are down ?


If you have your domain with goDaddy I highly recommend you to check also and see if evrything is OK.
