Our credit card processor, Authorize.net, is currently offline.

This is preventing payment via credit cards from HostGator, including automated billings (batches) and manual payments. Customers wishing to sign up with or pay their bills can still use PayPal, but credit card payments will not go through until Authorize.net comes back online.

We are working with the compnay to get this resolved as fast as possible, but since it is their servers that are down, there is not a lot we can do. They are aware of the issues and working on resolving them.

We will update our Twitter feed (http://twitter.com/hostgator) and this post as we learn more. More information can also be found in this article from TechCrunch.

Thanks for your patience and understanding during this issue.
