Can you believe that Go Daddy which is one of the top web hosting company in the world is down.It is attacked by a group of anonymous hacker.This is a very hard time for the whole Go Daddy group because almost all the servers are down.The websites associated with these servers are all down and are in a position like no where. But the things is the companies which are in a race with Go Daddy are making a lot of sweet offers for the Go Daddy new and old users.Up to now Go Daddy is down for around 12 hours and there is not Estimated Amount of Time (ETA) that when the servers will come back again.
The Anonymous Twitter account which has declared this hacking is named as Anonymous Own3r.The screenshot of the tweet is below:

The hosing service is down for the website hosting and mail hosting also.This is already confirmed by Go Daddy website.There is no ETA about when Go Daddy servers will again work.So, the alternative hosting sites are coming up with different offers.Some of the offers are like free hosting for 6 months.But you need to be one Go Daddy user.
HostGator is offering a free hosting for 6 months with the coupon “Godaddyisdown”.You will be able to sign up for free and if you want to go for a longer period then you will have to use “Godaddyisdown” coupon to get the maximum advantage.As HostGator is one of the great hosting service on the web, you can go for a 2-3 years plan and you can use the advantage of the coupon very much.
Now the question comes is there any problem while moving your site from HostGator to GoDaddy? I do not think this is a great problem.There is a free migration service by HostGator and if your site is in WordPress then you can do it very quickly.

We are sorry that Go Daddy is down by an unexpected attack.But you do not get this kind of great offer from the hosting site like HostGator.As website down is losing money so you can migrate your site.
Though Go Daddy is down but there is no specific reason expressed by the Anonymous Security leader who is claiming that he made the server down.The Anonymous member bio tell that he is from Brazil but there is no further information.
