Are You A Member Of The NAFCC? Website Gone/Down?

[Crazy8]

First question, are you a paying member? I joined last year, think it was $25 or so. I never really got much info on it and never "used" the membership for anything. Does anyone find it useful? Is it worth the $25 or so annually????

Second question, I got a renewal postcard in the mail but when I go to nafcc.org it comes up as a generic site saying "related searches" - like the website is gone???? Maybe its just a temporary issue??

Try looking up Institute for Education and Professional Development.

That should answer your questions.

I don't know where they purchased their domain or hosting but if they use go daddy, then go daddy has been down since yesterday because they were hacked, that maybe the cause.

GoDaddy was not hacked. It was an internal problem. Also, just because someone registered a domain name at GoDaddy does not mean they have a website there. You can register a domain at many other registrars and then create a website any where you choose.

Those that DID have a website at GoDaddy experienced problems yesterday. Judging from the NAACP whois information, (DNS servers located at DBRU.BR.NS.ELS-GMS.ATT.NET) it looks like their servers are not with GoDaddy and are located at an ATT NOC. The NAACP is a big organization and IMO GoDaddy is better suited for small start-ups.
