I've experienced a few minutes of downtime, but it's now OK. Hoping the issue is totally fixed.

Updates can also be monitored through their FB page;

Every few months this shit happens with their parent company EIG

WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!! I swear I'm going to explode!!

Can someone recommend a host that is not owned by EIG please?

I swear if I lose rankings... can you even sue them?

Yeah, I've been hearing the same from other people who have sites hosted on hostgator.

I'm glad I don't use them anymore..

Also leaving I pay WAY too much money to be given such sh**y hosting, Liquidweb actually tweeted me to try them out.

Has anyone here worked with them before?

Two things...

1) Isn't there a SLA we do with them when we sign up? Remember the 99% uptime guarantee?? So yes, if that's breached, we CAN sue them.

2) Why bother with point 1! Instead get a good, low level VPS from a quality provider, AND ALSO get a cheap shared hosting.

Then use amazon route 53 premium DNS and keep the cheap shared as a backup for your most important sites. When (if) the VPS ever goes down for some time, amazon will automatically route your site to the cheap hosting (yes automatically!), voila, no downtime technically! No rankings lost!

Although yeah it is time consuming to clone the sites and keep them updated... but for your main bread winners, its worth it!

I have 4 hosting with them, and I can see only my shared accounts got issues.

Resellers are alright, although it seems like they are responding slow.
