Is anyone else hosted with HostGator having issues today? All my sites are throwing 500 Internal Server Errors. I've been on hold with their support for over an hour. I know they got bought out years ago, but I didn't think it would get this bad. I'm losing traffic by the minute.

Mine are down too. It's not just you. I think one of their main datacenters is having a routing issue. This is exactly why you don't use shared hosting for anything important. Move to a dedicated box or at least a decent VPS. It costs a bit more, but you don't have to deal with this shared-resource bullshit.
