Also, HostGator is being moved to BlueHost, which are located in the same datacenter on the same servers along with 50+ other "brands" operated by EIG. It would depend on what day you tested to be honest. It really wouldn't be that much of a "comparison" really..

My mistake. I thought you asked if HG has a public monitoring results

Pingdom is recently losing customers, from what I read, due to failed notifications. It's long time for me to use Pingdom, so I could not say much.

Some others such as Panopta and StatusCake are good. You can try one of them.

@Mary Stevens: HG is not "moving to" BlueHost. They are moving into ACE facility in Utah, that I believe is belonged to EIG too. BlueHost is operating there as well as some other brands of EIG.

Thanks

Has anyone tried d9hosting looks to be little more expensive. But if there service and uptime are better my be worth it.

Same difference, don't be so naive. The same company pulling the strings.

The host I have now has been up 99.6 % of the time according to pingdom, however it has been down a total of one hour and 10 minutes..
HTTP Response times average 621 ms, though I'm still not completely sure of exactly how this test is done.
I'm curious how this compares to host gator or even blue host. Thank you.

HostGator is being moved to BlueHost now. I'd suggest searching Web Hosting Talk - The largest, most influential web hosting community on the Internet as well as this forum & some others for recent news.

I have 100% uptime most months at Stablehost.

Hostgator has LOTS of micro-downtimes, 1-2 minutes here and there, every day.
Over a month, that can quickly turn into hours of time.

Thanks

I have a reseller account with HostGator. Yesterday all of my sites suffered from either crazy bad response times or did not respond altogether. I have a lot of sites in my account so the thought of moving them all makes me ill.

Any new host that would want your business should be able to move your sites with no problem. How many sites do you currently have?

It's not super complicated & any new hosting provider that wants your business should be able to handle this without issue. Simply package up the account & copy it to the new server, then restore it. cPanel makes migrations extremely easy.

One thing I have noticed, is my sites are much slower than ever before. I'm talking...noticeably slower. Sometimes to a crawl. I really don't care too much how this affects Google traffic on my sites because I'm working to push Google to the end of the list as far as traffic sources.

I have a shared hosting plan and about six different domains. Shouldn't be too difficult to switch but the inconvenience really sucks. I guess I'll see how many other problems I have after this so-called migration is complete.

Thanks

It's not - your new host can simply package up the account, migrate it & restore. We've done a few thousand migrations seamlessly without a hitch. Non-cPanel migrations are a bit more complicated though as they require manually importing databases, editing files, importing mail etc etc.

Hostgator is driving me mad more and more. Since two days it takes ages for my sites to load, even the mobile sites need very long.

Will wait some days more, but then, where to go?? :confused:

Just talked to hostgator. The agent said that the migration will take about one week more and then everything should be fine.........

If not, then I'm sure they don't worry if they will lose just one little client.

I can also second stablehost, they used to host my site before it outgrew the shared hosting.

Now using wpengine with is the fastest most flawless web hosting I have ever used.

They're decent however, we noticed a lot of intermittent downtime reports with them.

https://www.statuscake.com/ is a good solid monitoring company as well & they have a much better dashboard w/ public reporting features.

On a shared host the stats would be different anyway depending on what server your on and what other domains are hosted on that server, so any info you got from someone would likely be irrelevant anyway.

@Kingfish85 so does this mean Hostgator is going away? Being absorbed by another company?

They're not "going away" - they've been bought out by EIG (Endurance International Group) which I encourage you to do a little research on. EIG operates under 50+ different brands. http://www.bbb.org/boston/business-r...gton-ma-76863/ - that list isn't the most up to date. The word on the street is "upgrading" however, judging from the complaints floating around, it seems more of a cover up for more consolidation. Everything is being moved to BlueHost currently (Unified Layer) is what most traceroutes will show.

I know something has been going on for a while. I use to praise hostgator but now the support time ect and the uptime is not the same as it was a couple of years ago.

I have been with hostgator since they opened but looks like I may have to switch soon.

Yea, I used HG right when they went from DesignGator to HostGator, then a few years after that.

If your host is down a lot, it will really hurt the rankings of your web pages. Oh yes, I am speaking from experience. Also, sales will get hit hard so you always want to be up. Right now HG is migrating some servers. Let us hope this problem is temporary and does not grow worse.

Yes and latency plays a big part as well. People don't realize Google is in the business of A) selling advertising and B) providing the best search results to their customers.

Have a slow site or site with micro outages? Say goodbye to Google traffic. Google Bot looks at a site with 1000 organic hits a day 100-200 times a day. Now this doesn't mean INDEXING 100-200 times a day, its simply verifying content and speeds and uptime.
