What’s going on over at GoDaddy?

I’m so glad I don’t have my site hosted there.  Seriously, this can’t be acceptable at all.  Long story short, sites hosted at GoDaddy are being hacked.  It seems to have nothing to do with the sites themselves, and everything to do with something wrong internally at GoDaddy.  It’s not breaking news, either – it’s been going on since last week!

Maybe GoDaddy should spend a little more time on protecting their customers, and a little less time making commercials.  Don’t get me wrong, I think Danica Patrick and Candice Michelle are pretty hot really good actresses, but we could pay a bit more attention to security details, no?

Hopefully, GoDaddy can get their act together here.  If not, and you host your site there, maybe you should consider jumping ship to a host that isn’t ignoring your security. There are plenty of good hosts available, spend 5 minutes and find one, just in case.  This should also serve as a nice reminder to always have a backup of your site.  I know, it’s so easy sometimes to make changes to the page on the fly, but you really should do that offline and upload.  Just in case, you know, GoDaddy decides to ignore some security problem or something.
