Hey every one,

I just checked my website and it wouldnt load so i went to Hostgator to contact them and their website is also down?

Should i be worried? because i am lol.

Does anyone know anything about this? Is anyone else using Hostgator? do you sites work?

Please can someone tell me if this link is working for them

http://www.hostgator.com

I was just searching for the SAME thing!!! I tried googling but no luck! I was just about to post something here!

This stinks because I am expecting emails and my sites are down too. I really push that hosting on my clients too because I love it...um...up til today!

With all fairness, all the Yahoo small business hosting bashing I have done I can honestly say at least my sites were never down this long!

Lets hope for the best!

Thanks for your reply man i thought i was on my own!

I also recommend them on other web master forums and its almost embarising.

This is the first time its happened since i have been with them, lets hope it gets better soon.

I understand every host goes down from time to time, its only been about 30 minutes hasnt it?

I suppose that any web hosting provider could have some temporary issues. Sometimes your ISP might have them.

ThePlanet, their upstream provider, has a rooting issue, resulting in a ~25 minutes downtime for some of HG's customers.

25 minutes that is not huge. I have seen this topic on other forums as well. During that period of time you couldn't lose much

It's rare to see such mass outages from a big web host like the planet, usually it just impacts a server or two. Oh well, they are back we lived

Industry standard uptime is 99.99999 percent of the time - so when hostgator says 99.9 don't think you're getting a deal. 25 minutes of downtime is a bad thing. I host with them, although I just hopped on so I haven't had any problems. Hopefully this doesn't happen again. The sites I host wouldn't be hit hard by a half hour of down time, but just think if it was an ecommerce site with a lot of business. Half hour of down time = big loss.

Yeah it is a big deal. That was the first time they ever went down and it seemed to be a major problem because their website didn't even work. Yeah if I had a ecommerce business during that I would be grinding my teeth lol.

I would rather have a rare ocation like that than on and off all the time.

As far as I remember there was a power surge at The Planet and several hosting companies went down!

Only 25 minutes? That's not really a big deal, especially considering the situation on how it happened.

Now 25 hours is a different story...
