# Godaddy issue with WordPress

 * i have recently experienced some problems with my website [http://www.nathanvanhesteren.com](http://www.nathanvanhesteren.com).
 * The hosting is with GoDaddy, the site ran perfectly for a week or so, and all
   of a sudden last night it stopped working or would only load occasionally VERY
   slowly, or load with no images on the site, and this has been the problem ever
   since!
 * I spent an hour on the phone with a GoDaddy representative and he wasn’t very
   helpful, just said that it was all working his end and the site was working his
   end too, which is strange because i had quite a few people check it who all said
   it wasn’t working.
 * I am just wondering if the issue is GoDaddy, as i am seriously considering changing
   hosting as ive heard a lot of bad about their hosting with WordPress.
 * If anybody could help as to whats going on that would be great…

 * Hi Natman
 * They are probably experiencing issues on the node that your hosting is on. Give
   it a few more hours and see if there is an improvement. I just tried to look 
   at your site and it didnt load at all – seems to me that their servers may have
   gone down.

 * Thanks for your reply, Sola,
 * It’s very frustrating, wouldn’t the GoDaddy support guy have been able to tell
   me if there was a problem on their end? He seemed to think it was all OK…

 * The only other issue I can think of is that a link in the Domain Name Server (
   DNS) has either gone down or is overloaded.
 * Your site seems like its back up now on my side, but still quite slow.
 * Give it a few more hours

 * yeah, i am having the same issue, it is being very temperamental, up one minute
   down the next.
 * What does the DNS going down/overloaded mean? How would i fix that?
 * Thanks!

 * You wont be able to fix that 🙂 It’s completely out of your control.
 * Check this out: [http://dnscheck.pingdom.com/?domain=nathanvanhesteren.com](http://dnscheck.pingdom.com/?domain=nathanvanhesteren.com)
 * There appears to be an issue with the nameserver ns16.domaincontrol.com (208.109.255.8)
 * Perhaps get back to GoDaddy with that information – it may be able to help them
   identify the issue.
 * Kind regards
    Nick

 * Just called them again, and they said everything is OK on their end, and working
   fast with no problems. Not too sure what to do, they said it may be a location
   based thing, as everybody i’ve asked in the UK seems to say it’s not working 
   properly

 * Hi Natman
    It probably is a location based thing. These things normally fix themselves
   after a few hours.
