yeh apparently its going to be back up again in a hour, you think they'd be able to manage a simple downtime page but apparently not.

holt sh*t wtf...that is REALLY weird...maybe they had to renew the domain (can you imagine having that puppy in your account) and godaddy switched the DNS back to default for a second like they do on everyone elses domains! DNS propagation time! lol

Cached nameservers at domaintools shows:

PARK9.SECURESERVER.NET
PARK10.SECURESERVER.NET

Apparently they have changed name servers, and screwed up something...

Domain servers in listed order:
NS39.DOMAINCONTROL.COM = GoDaddy Hosting DNS
NS40.DOMAINCONTROL.COM = GoDaddy Hosting DNS

Probably forgot to pay for hosting or got hacked or admin was playing a belated April Fool.

This is so unprofesional. I have a transaction I need to initiate and have to tell the buyer, "Oops, the escrow company I sugested is down".

Luckily it went normal for me when I needed it. The client delayed payment for a few hours. i guess that was what happened.
It totally blows!

Yes, back now, so I could release money to a seller... Had to delay that a few hours.
I'm glad I wasn't the seller, then I would have been really worried.

Restart your computer to clear the cache.

OK, I guess it's my term now... It's not resolving at the moment.

ipconfig /flushdns from CMD does the trick; but in this case the domain is simply not resolving.

No speed problems here, however I never got a notification email for the progress of a transaction :-(
