HostGator down for 8+ hours

[Keith Smith]

Hi,

Last night at about 1:30 HostGator rolled out a Kernel update that 
brought most of their servers to their knees.  They are now just 
finishing the mop up.  It took them about 8 hours to fix the issue.  Of 
course HostGator is being tight lipped on exactly what happened and who 
was effected.  It appears all reseller accounts were effected and 
possibly their retail hosting accounts as well.
