| Thanks GoDaddy
A little side story to the excitement of this past week. I know someone who works at GoDaddy.com. As I understand it they did us all a favor. Apparently they hosted Sunrocket's site. In the chaos of earlier this week they were under pressure to shut the site down which would have meant none of us would have had access to switch any calling features (like forwarding). Apparently they worked a compromise that allowed the site to remain functioning (while forcing the notice from Sunrocket that they were out of business). Things would have been alot worse for us if the site had disappeared just like the Sunrocket execs. |

@pacbell.net | Neumannu...don't know your personal situation but most of us apparently have had use of the site. I've repeatedly changed my forwarding number. |

cool... they also bailed me out this year with registerfly... I can't believe I got caught up in both debacles. I pay my web host quarterly - if they went bust in the same sleazy way the other two did, that would be the ultimately bad trifecta |

Odd. Anything I ever had hosted, I simply deleted when I was done with it. Makes no sense to me what you are saying. |

What a load of cr**. GoDaddy was the domain registrar, nothing more. They did not host the main sunrocket anything - those systems all sit out in two cages at Equinix in Ashburn, VA.
They can delete the domain record when the registration expires, which would prevent your isp's dns server from finding the sunrocket domain name servers, and that's about it. Last I looked, SR's domains were set to auto-renew, so unless that changed (or the CC it was registered on stopped working), the domain will continue to exist. Of course, the DNS servers on sunrocket's side could get shut off... |

That is completely false... Godaddy has nothing to do with them except they are their domain registrar. |

GoDaddy did *not* host sunrocket.com (I know, I spent plenty of time in the Equinix cages). |

1. Almost no provider provides java servlet hosting. Sr's infrastructure on the web side was all java servlets. The ".do" extension gives this away, since they were using Java struts.
2. GoDaddy does not host Voip equipment, so the overhead in integrating an external web hoster with telecoms equipment is significantly more difficult.
3. Look at the sunrocket domain with dnstools. Then see who owns the IP address space. It ain't Godaddy.
I said cr**, and say cr** again.
