gator79.hostgator.com seems to be down

imekul · #1 09-29-2007, 05:07 PM

I've been with HostGator for a few weeks, and I just noticed my first outage. For the past half-hour or so, Gator79 has been inaccessible, with connections timing out.

I'm sure it will be back soon, but I'm just wondering -- from others' experience, is it rare to have outages? Fairly frequent? At my old host, it was extremely rare to have any downtime, so I hope that that will also be the case with HG!

Thanks,

Luke

Notify Live Chat support immediately when you notice performance issues. I rarely have downtime.

Seems to be up now. If you have a website address we can check it might help determine if there is just a routing problem.

Thanks for the quick replies, guys.

Oops... the domain is www.famteam.com.

I actually can't bring it up, for some reason. The support tech said that they were fending off a DoS attack, but that it should be back now. Yet, I can't access my domain or the cPanel, at http://69.93.254.130:2082/frontend/x/index.html.

It's coming up fine for me.

Hmm... wonder if my IP could have gotten banned or something. I'm in touch with support.

Thanks for helping out, fellas! :-)
