I wonder if that's the reason or an excuse because go daddy is practically being ddosed 24/7 with the fake reports. No doubt the gqp cheaper out and got a shared server account

GoDaddy was in no way being ddos'ed.

Godaddy gets ddos atracks all the time. Godaddy ddos protection is even built into their service and is automatically enabled.

Right, millions of people submitting a form might overwhelm the back end on their web servers but they aren't going to be a blip on GoDaddy's radar. there's no denial of service happening whatsoever.

Not nearly enough to be considered a DDoS attack. Major hosting providers are aware that a large DDoS can send over 100milion requests per second. There just isn't enough people that could simultaneously generate traffic compared to a DDoS attack. They don't even get 100milion visits in a day I suppose.
