Overall very good, if they get this issue sorted quickly then I'll continue to see them in a good light.

Black All Through · 08-02-2013, 07:16 AM

Never had a problem with them either, but now that I've said that.....

jaspense7 · 08-02-2013, 08:29 AM

down, back up and down again......

incredibleworkethic · 08-02-2013, 08:31 AM

Mine has been up.

They recently sent out a warning that they were switching servers to more powerful machines. Not sure if this is related or not.

That would explain the whole up down thing

boziffous · 08-02-2013, 09:09 AM

Still down here.

More interesting is the number of hosting companies they own and how virtually all of them became unreliable after acquisition.

For sure, seems like an incredible number of hosting companies, no doubt reducing staff numbers. I never used to have to wait for Hostgator support, whereas these days it can be 8 minutes in the queue.

I'm getting the feeling I should switch before this gets worse

valeriyCE · 08-02-2013, 09:36 AM

bluehost is also down

I just spotted they have Dreamhost too, though they don't mention them on their Wikipedia page.

DreamHost is now part of the Endurance International Group!

http://www.dreamhost.com/dreamscape/...ational-group/

"They bought us for 10 times our annual revenue.

Two of our four founders will also serve on the EIG board.

Many of our employees were made into millionaires overnight."

wehateporn · 08-02-2013, 10:55 AM

EIG are the Manwin of hosting, this seems to be going on in a lot of industries, investors come in and try to buy stuff up.

These guys doing the same thing with infrastructure

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_...cture_Partners

http://global-infra.com/

they buy stuff like airports, I suspect it's just the banks themselves taking control by creating money out of thin air.

fris · 08-02-2013, 12:31 PM

i guess thats what happens when you pay 5 bucks for hosting

stephane76 · 08-02-2013, 12:56 PM

15 hours of downtime
Looks like they are back up

Personally I have a STRONG issue with the comment "Many of our employees were made into millionaires overnight." Due to the known fact they have cut staff members dramatically, so these overnight millionaires are getting that somewhere. I am all about the little guy and support the same hosting company ive been with since 1999 and they are STILL owned and operated by the SAME people. Excellent everything. Just hate to hear about people losing jobs. Sad to see the rich get richer and us blue collars lose our jobs to corporate BS.
Just saying

Host Gator has been known to bounce all the time.

BlueHost, Host Gater, Dream Host... all the same
- you get what you pay for.

Even in the old days (when people considered them to be better)
- they just bounce a lot more now.

That's why I self-host (dedicated servers)...
- and yes, I know HG offers dedicated servers.

Used them many years ago for reseller and shit worked good when it worked but was overloaded so down here and there, I'd contact them and get the bad user has been removed sites back up but I had to contact them all the time to remove whoever was overloading the server.

Moved to liquid web and my shit runs 100% uptime month after month and if shit goes bad they monitor it and I don't have to contact them. More expensive but nice to know when I'm sleeping shit is up.

Bird · 08-03-2013, 03:16 PM

I used them for a long time. But the other day I went to a clients site and cold not access it. I thought it was my own PC or internet then tried again a few min later and it was up..

Lucky none of my clients saw this...

livexxx · 08-03-2013, 07:06 PM

Yup, if I had a business that lost $8 if my $8 hosting went down I would be pissed.

leg4 · 08-03-2013, 11:12 PM

Did anyone switch to a new host after this specific Hostgator incident?
