Web hosting provider GoDaddy has brought its website and services back online, restoring service to millions of customers following a lengthy outage on Monday.
"We're working out the last few kinks for our site & control centers," the company told customers via Facebook. "No customer data was compromised."
Scottsdale, Ariz.-based Go Daddy Group, Inc. released no further information about the outage. Wired reported that the company apparently moved its DNS servers to rival VeriSign to speed up the process of restoring its website and hosting services. Â
It's unclear if the outage was caused by a technical problem in GoDaddy's massive data centers or if the company was the victim of a cyberattack. A person, identifying themselves as a member of Anonymous, claimed responsibility for the outage via Twitter on Monday. The person did not provide any proof of their role in an attack. Â
Founded in 1997, Go Daddy Group is the largest global domain registrar accredited by ICANN. It has more than 50Â million domain names under management.
GoDaddy has had service disruptions in the past. In 2007 some GoDaddy websites were disrupted by a distributed denial-of-service attack (DDoS). The company's IT security team had to filter out malicious traffic during a five hour period.
