thanks for the follow up guys!
Yeah, a notification to the clients would have been necessary!
When web developers get this error, what do they do? Start modifying files to correct the issue. If it isn’t a user error, then they have just screwed up their site without notification from their host that the problem is caused by upgrades.
Who else here has known about how long HG’s PHP was outdated? I know personally it’s been no less that 2 years!I think they thought this would go under the radar…
HG was wrong! LOL
Happy webbing guys!
I agree SLIS. It’s a necessary evil. Especially with website load times having such a direct relationship to search engine ranking. the good news is I have been working all day day without any issue and my Visual Composer and Revolution Slider seem to be functioning a lot smoother. If this incident is mentioned to HG I am sure they would play dumb since they think they corrected the issue without notice. I have read about a vulnerability making it’s way around hosting companies regarding WordPress based sites. Maybe they were updating their code and caused a slow down.
I have looked into other hosts and I think I might try going with Bluehost. Many of my web developer friends swear by them. Since migration is MUCH easier then it used to be (All-In-One WP Migration plugin works fantastic btw) I may pull the trigger in the near future. Only hate the DNS waiting period…Hang in there guys.
Tinieblas, let us know what you find out and thank you for the effort.
Problem doesn’t seem to be as dominant today, but Hostgator sending out an email to let the clients know what is going on would be nice…
I will stick with them for now since I have been with them for years, but this is certainly cause for concern in the future considering I am running a Real Estate website and can’t afford a 500 error! May start shopping for faster and dedicated servers…Yes, I am on the Hatchling plan…
My site hasn’t been live yet, so there is no type of traffic issue. Clean cache regularly and optimize my database religiously. Deactivated Jetpack, seemed to work at first, then started experiencing it again. I am not looking forward to contacting Hostgator because they are in the habit of finger pointing.Noticed this today out of the blue. If it helps, I haven’t made any additional changes involving plugins etc or updates to my theme. Literally just started showing up. I have only been editing pages in maintenance mode and it seems to have suddenly appeared while viewing page previews. I suspect something is happening with their servers that hasn’t been addressed yet. Frustrating as hell…
