Not sure but my new theory is that your wife bribed someone to take it down for the day....

Lol..... Next time what ever she offers, I will pay double...

I don't think it had anything to do with godaddy.

DNS records are propagated across the internet and point you to the correct nameservers where you can reach the hosted site. Since these records point to cartama servers, godaddy couldn't have affected anything. The HTTP request queries the nameserver where to go and then requests the site from the web server. DNS lookup doesn't occur on godaddy's server, it's whatever DNS server you are using, more than likely, your ISP's. Since the cartama servers were down, they obviously couldn't serve that request.

The site is hosted at cartama, not godaddy. Godaddy is just the domain registrar.

Sorry, I meant to reply to Ray's comment!

So really your'e not even pulling DNS records from catarma, per se. You're pulling from whatever caching DNS server that pulls records from catarma. Unless you set your local DNS to catarma (probably wouldn't after this).

I happen to work for a web hosting company (rhyms with Packspace), so if we ever need any web hosting I might be able to hook some stuff up.
