According to many customers, sites hosted by major web host and domain registrar GoDaddy are down. According to the official GoDaddy Twitter account the company is aware of the issue and is working to resolve it. Update: customers are complaining that GoDaddy hosted e-mail accounts are down as well, along with GoDaddy phone service and all sites using GoDaddy’s DNS service.
Update 2: Anonymous is claiming responsibility. A member of Anonymous known as is claiming responsibility, and makes it clear this is not an Anonymous collective action.
Status Alert: Hey, all. We're aware of the trouble people are having with our site. We're working on it.

However, it does indeed appear that sites hosted by GoDaddy are down — including those who only have their domains registered through GoDaddy but use other hosts.
For example, I’m seeing a database error on couponpuppet.com, one of the customers complaining about the outage on Twitter.
