Hostgator Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • davebarish Dave Barish (@davebarish) reported

    @HostGator my server is down and the 5-minute waiting time in the chat hasn't changed in 15 minutes. Help!

  • ELwizeman Lewis Weitzman (@ELwizeman) reported

    @HostGator I have never experienced anything like this. All email accounts completely disappeared from C Panel. Email has been down for 7 days and support team has no answer for anything. Our business runs through these emails. At this point, a lawyer may need to get involved.

  • acadiasystems Acadia Systems, Inc. (@acadiasystems) reported

    @ReachAboveMedia @HostGator Same issue! Support is just not helpful at all. 😠

  • MudCrabT1000 MudCrabT1000 (@MudCrabT1000) reported

    @sharprell @CynderHost @HostGator Sorry to hear. No I have not lost any data post Hostgator going down. I hope you had a backup in place somewhere. If not you should look into several available plugins / services or even download weekly manual backups from cPanel and softaculous backup

  • SimpleSkink Jay Smith (@SimpleSkink) reported

    @MattsterNC @GoDaddy Get them to throw down $60 for a year of Siteground, use All in One Migrate and just yank it off of there. Getting away from GD, HostGator or FatCow is pretty much required in all my agreements.

  • shonthebuilder Shon the Builder (@shonthebuilder) reported

    @Namecheap What is going on over there?? I cannot receive or send email and this is a huge problem. And now it says limited chat and delayed assistance? Looks like I will be migrating everything over to @GoDaddy or @HostGator. This is literally costing ME money. 😭

  • renoseoexpert Sandy Rowley (@renoseoexpert) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator So, it has been over a week. Tech support still has not responded. So dissapointing. Looking to move these sites to a new host.

  • WebDesign_NJ WebDesignNJ (@WebDesign_NJ) reported

    @HGSupport I spoke 3 times with your support and no one did anything. Don't bother. I fixed it myself. :)

  • DevNiles DevNiles (@DevNiles) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator My dedicated box isn't relaying an IP address and can't be pinged. Is #Hostgator experiencing an outage, I'm seeing a lot of people suddenly posting outages with Hostgator... Is there somewhere online I can see your statuses?

  • WebDesign_NJ WebDesignNJ (@WebDesign_NJ) reported

    @HGSupport Your support team is a joke, I say this after being with hostgator for 20 years. They don't even speak English, 3 times on chat and nothing is solved. My server gets down every day at the same hour, nothing solved. What a joke!

  • GutmanEdward Edward Gutman (@GutmanEdward) reported

    @HostGator are you having data center issues? Was working on my VPS and all the sudden it disappeared. Can't even ping it. Also tried from a remote location.

  • Learners4U Learners4u (@Learners4U) reported

    @HostGator Service been good over the years … what happening now … please fix it🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

  • DustyOrgan Dusty *****: New Music Publication (@DustyOrgan) reported

    Ugh. Just a heads up my website is down AGAIN b/c of @HostGator. I'll let you know when it's back up! (And if anyone has a recommendation for a hosting service, I'm all ears)

  • SingletsSupreme Supreme Singlets (@SingletsSupreme) reported

    @HostGator Still here waiting on customer service to reply. Never got a call back, no response on website support chat, and cannot get thru. Over 24hrs and counting! Absolutely ridiculous! 2 websites I have you host for me.

  • elnovio_atomico el novio atomico (@elnovio_atomico) reported

    @HostGator havin troubles? Server is down :(

  • SteveCinq Steven Cinquegrana (@SteveCinq) reported

    @megaloli @JL_Altamira @HostGator They won’t reveal what the issue was because it opens them up to legal liability. I understand that reticence but it doesn’t make for good customer relations.

  • SteveCinq Steven Cinquegrana (@SteveCinq) reported

    @HGSupport "So ownership can be verified"??? Seriously? All sites on our account are down. That doesn't require verifying a thing. Have you screwed up your DNS?? What?

  • cjuareza #SoloSeQueTengoSed (@cjuareza) reported

    @CaliCreamin @HostGator @hostgator is down and sometimes online but too slow

  • reelmockery Reel Mockery (@reelmockery) reported

    @HostGator Sites are down again. Is this going to be a periodic thing now? Come on HG. Get it together.

  • ethanjaack ethan (@ethanjaack) reported

    @boji @HostGator If I were you, I will change provider. Previously, I also used their service, but had many issues.

  • askpaapa Paapa Kweku (@askpaapa) reported

    @HostGator how many days?? still out of action. cant get through to customer service either. not good enough

  • Barritz 𝔅𝔞𝔯𝔯𝔦𝔱𝔷 (@Barritz) reported

    @HGSupport all websites & email down again. What is the issue now? What’s ETA on the fix? More importantly the reoccurrences are far too frequent now. What is quality issue on your side? Your reliability used to be excellent. Now it’s a guess if I’m online or not. #SolveIt

  • sharprell Concierge (@sharprell) reported

    @MudCrabT1000 @CynderHost @HostGator Did you lose your site too? I had a wordpress built site and now its GONE.. Not sure if it was due to the outage they had. Which, I couldn't get an explanation why?

  • SteveCinq Steven Cinquegrana (@SteveCinq) reported

    @HostGator And, yes, it was a DNS issue as we now have a new IP of 50.87.144.94 ... amateurs/principantes/aficionados!

  • thecybersecdad The Cybersecurity Guy/Dad (@thecybersecdad) reported

    Your DNS servers may be hosted by your website service, like Wix or Squarespace, or on your domain registrar like Godaddy or Hostgator. The TXT should look something like this “v=DMARC1; p=quarantine; rua=mailto:you@domain; ruf=mailto:you@domain; sp=quarantine; ri=86400”

    @HostGator Still down?

  • bmatheka_KE Benson Matheka (@bmatheka_KE) reported

    @HostGator looks like things are not working any more. Support no longer helpful. Looks like hosting with you was the biggest mistake. When will Case Number: 43480764 be resolved?

  • Aftab_Saraz Aftab Saraz (@Aftab_Saraz) reported

    @HostGator Any chance we are getting our servers back up? It is been more than 48 hours and all the sites are down. This is really killing our customer experience.

  • OTGorganics OffTheGrid Organics (@OTGorganics) reported

    @HostGator What is the update? My site is still not working, I’ve been in an “escalated support” queue for 2 days” with no communication from @HostGator!
