a bit disappointed to see bitcoin sites hosted with godaddy, after the whole sopa thing
not hosted at godaddy, just using them for DNS. But after this, we will definitely change that.

our site works if you just add this entry to your local hosts file
50.57.69.6 bitpay.com
50.57.69.6 bitpay.com
The quickest way to recover from this once and for all is go set up a $50 account at any other DNS provider, duplicate your entire domain there, and then change the DNS entries for your actual domain name so it points to servers belonging to BOTH providers simultaneously. As soon as that takes effect, you'll be up regardless of who gets DDoS'd (unless it's both at the same time - which is far less likely)
I'm using WorldWideDNS.net and DNSMadeEasy.com (so please don't DDoS them simultaneously) - both are cheap, easy, and reliable (minus the occasional DDoS!) and recommendable. Both give you full control over the DNS itself while offering you an easy wizard if you don't need to hand-tune anything.
Just to make it clear, I am proposing having both companies be primary, rather than having a primary and secondary (so what I am proposing is technically a misconfiguration - and requires you to double the work every time you want to change something - but pays off in other ways, for example, it allows me to have a low TTL so I can change my DNS on a dime if I have connectivity problems elsewhere, without any of the problems normally associated with low TTL's).
