What happens when GoDaddy goes down?

DNS resolution failures

GoDaddy DNS outages prevent domain name resolution, making websites hosted or pointed at GoDaddy inaccessible.

Domain management panel down

Account login, domain transfers, and DNS record changes may be unavailable when GoDaddy control panels are affected.

Web hosting outages

Shared, VPS, and dedicated hosting services may go down, causing customer websites to return 500 or connection refused errors.

Email hosting disruptions

Microsoft 365 or GoDaddy email hosting issues can prevent sending and receiving of business email during an outage.

How do I troubleshoot GoDaddy issues?

1
Check GoDaddy Status first
Visit status.godaddy.com to see if there is an active incident before troubleshooting your domain or hosting.
2
Test DNS resolution independently
Use a tool like Google DNS (8.8.8.8) or run `nslookup yourdomain.com 8.8.8.8` to test if DNS resolution is working.
3
Check if only your site is affected
Use downforeveryoneorjustme.com to confirm whether the issue is isolated to your website or affecting GoDaddy broadly.
4
Verify nameserver configuration
If you recently changed nameservers, DNS propagation can take up to 48 hours — this may not be a GoDaddy outage.
5
Contact GoDaddy Support
If the status page shows no incidents but your domain or hosting is down, contact GoDaddy Support via phone or chat.

Use a secondary DNS provider

If your GoDaddy-hosted site is down, consider using Cloudflare to serve a maintenance page while GoDaddy recovers.
