Anyone having problems with Hostgator shared hosting?

    Hello,

    I'm having problems with my sites for about 3-4 days. It's all random. Suddenly my server closes the connection (both ftp and http) and I'm not able to connect for 2-3 mins. Then everything comes back. Sometimes it repeats every 5 mins which is very annoying.

    Their support told me that everything was ok on their side and the problem could be about my ISP. But I can view any other site during those down times.

    Is anyone having similar problems nowadays?

    I haven't had any problems yet with HG...

    The next time it happens to you try using this site to see if it is your ISP or if it's down for everyone else http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/

    Sounds like a server issue, contact hostgator support. They can do more than some forum users :p

    Clever idea but I already did that. They told me the problem was on my end.
    Trying to figure out.

    I had a similar problem but I was at least able to connect to cPanel.
    There is a limitation of 25 processes. Some scripts (proxies) can "consume" quite a lot.
