Is anyone having an outage with Hostgator right now (1:25pm central time) My hosting, all my sites, and even the host gator site itself is down. Any ideas on why or when it will be fixed???
Expertmac, weird! Where you located at? I wonder if its a regional thing. Because everyone here in the Chicago area, cant get our sites to load, or even access hostgator.com When did you try last to access your sites and also the hostgator.com site?

when i read your thread i pinged my all site also hostgator.com & everything is work fine.one more thing i have all my dedicated server not shared so don't know if shared server down.
You have to remember, HostGator has over 1500 servers so a server might be down for a little bit. Check their forums at http://forums.hostgator.com/ and you can see outages and the status of a down server. The longest I seen a server down with HostGator when I was working there was 5 hours and that server need a complete chasis swap and ram swap. The servers at HostGator are fairly beefed up and have a lot of power to them so it takes a minute for everything to start back up and run at 100% after being down.
Not only did they have good up-time i did salute them for their customer service. Rarely found one very effective, it's just that sadly i'm from Asia - and speed was a very serious issue on my side so i couldn't chose Hostgator.
