    I know this article is old, but this is exactly what is happening to me. Thanks for posting about this, it is why blogs are great. 😉

  3. Had the same thing happening to us one day after having 4 consecutive stumbles and two posts going hot on Sphinn. Go Daddy was supposed to be switching the hosting plan and migrating the servers and they dropped the ball and had our site down for 3 days as a result. All that I can see is the burning 500 Internal Server Error etched in my memory as I see red to this day as a result of their error.

    I lost 200 pages from Google's index from the downtime and have yet to see the rankings return as a result.

    …yes, 100% correct. Few moment ago I had a same exact problem on my clients website, discovered that problem was in wp-cache so I disable it, however even after that the same problem…

    So I went on my FTP delete wp-cache and took down the wp-cache folder as well, that was installed in root /cache

    Good Luck,

    Emil

    PS As soon as this is deleted no problems whatsoever!~

    To turn on Error Logging on GoDaddy:

    Login in GoDaddy then go into My Hosting Account.

    Click Manage Account

    Click on Settings

    Click on Error Log

    Click Update

    Error Logging is now on.

    Click Launch CGI Admin to see the log.

    It will only turn the logging on for 24 hours, then it will be automatically turned off again.
