Hostgator down?

What the heck.. this forum would probably go down soon then if the root servers are going down at this rate.

 

Both the main site and the sites of mine (that use HostGator) seem to be working perfectly fine. I remember getting an e-mail earlier yesterday, though, about an upgrade or something?

 

My sites are back up.

 

I can't acces ftp or hostgator.com

 

I'm not very savvy at all in terms of networking, and I'm assuming that one server would never be able to interfere with other servers within the same network.

I mean, would a shared account be able somehow to bring down an entire network?

I'm asking this because just before the server s went down we had to redirect the website of the biggest Flower shop in my country to one of our servers at Hostgator because our other dedicated machine went down due to an overload. This meant of course an unusually massive volume of traffic in a very short time to that particular Hostgator machine.

 

they are currently doing PHP5/SQL5 Upgrades, got an email yesterdat

 

So did I, but no where in the email did I read anything about a possible downtime today.

 

Here it is.

 

Yes, they're talking from 8th March onwards. It shouldn't involve any down time and there's no explanation why the DNS servers are down as pointed out previously.

One of my websites is now partially loaded, just the title but not page elements.

 

If I was using a third party DNS service, would my sites be unaffected by this outage?

 

I'm having problems too. I'm unable to access any of my sites on hostgator. They told me my server was down and they were working on it. Said it would be about a half an hour, but that was over an hour ago and my site is still down.

 

Still down for me.
Its just the uncertainty about when the server is back up thats unbearable!

 

Any chances of us getting a free month of service or something, because this is uncalled for!

 

Not at all, at least not at hostgator. They are good, but not that good.

 

Malmsteen, your site http://www.flashgamesmania.com (ns575.hostgator.com) is up for me in the US. Why is it down everywhere else?

 

It's up here. (Portugal)

 

That is so strange....

 

Im in the U.S and my site in my sig is still down

 

It works for me kloop. Anyway I hope that this issue passes soon for you guys.

 

Wow.... http://www.karmaloop.com is down
