I recently had a domain registered there but now their site is nowhere to be found! Trying to access their site yields a dns error message.

http://www.godaddy.com/ works fine on my side. maybe a problem with your isp?

I don't have any problem accessing any part of GoDaddy either.

This seems to be a recurring theme...I thought I saw a post similar to this a few days ago.

I've tried 2 different ISP connections already. The first yields an msn search page which says "dns error". The second connection yields a "cannot find server" message. I have a third ISP connection here I have yet to try.

In any case, this is BAD because if godaddy is this selective, that means my domain's reach is greatly limited. Hell I can't even access my own domain which is currently parked at godaddy. Any suggestions? Can't even access their help section or anything. I'm desperate...

Try going through http://www.safeweb.com and see if that does it for you first.

It's not that bad actually. A registrar only has access to add a domain to the root DNS servers for the internet, they don't actually handle the DNS themselves (except when they do park pages like you mentioned), once you move off the park page, you should be fine.

Transfer to another registrar where this problem does not occur.

Thanks guys!

I tried accessing godaddy via safeweb and it worked out fine.
