As today morning 7:55 AM, 03/06/2016, I tried to open one of my website, I got a message that " www.jamamasjid.org ’s  DNS address  could not be found."  I checked my INTERNET settings and tried multiple times but continuously getting the same message then I tried to check out my DNS settings on Godaddy website but I experienced that website itself wasn't opening and same message was being appeared.

I'm sure all domain names registered through Godaddy in India will not be working today resulting as websites on behalf concerned domains will also not be working today. It's a great problem.
