  • aaronsilverman Aaron Silverman (@aaronsilverman) reported

    Hey @HostGator, my website is down again. 2nd time in a week. What gives? Not good for my business if my website is down.

  • shaunoconnor1 Shaun O Connor (@shaunoconnor1) reported

    @shoaibhussain @EsquibalUSA @HostGator Same, the 'Error Establishing A Database Connection' error was a regular occurrence for me too. Hostgator support insisted that it was something up with my WP installation or plugins (it clearly wasn't)

  • Nicolas_Jurado Nicolás Jurado Allende (@Nicolas_Jurado) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport Chat has been hanging for a while this week. Another channel, to address support, please? #hostgator #hostgatorsupport

  • aaronsilverman Aaron Silverman (@aaronsilverman) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator y'all doing anything to get my website back up and running? Down twice in less than a week is not good. Is this the new norm?

  • EsquibalUSA Hugo Cruz (@EsquibalUSA) reported

    @HostGator What is going on, i have all day with problems, i lost clients today! What happen?

  • 1090TheMightier The Mightier 1090 ESPN Radio (@1090TheMightier) reported

    @HostGator down again? Customer support non-existent. Been on phone for an hour with ZERO explanation.

  • lbustamantemx Luis Bustamante (@lbustamantemx) reported

    @HGSupport Well... I would do that but I CAN'T ACCESS MY ACCOUNT because the web doesn't send the email to reset my password. And there is no other support channel.

  • CartelProhibido Cartel Prohibido (@CartelProhibido) reported

    @donbixpay @HostGator @hostgator sucks

  • mhalavo Andy Halavonich (@mhalavo) reported

    What's a better alternative to @HostGator? My sites have been down repeatedly for a week now.

  • zahidshujakhan zahid khan (@zahidshujakhan) reported

  • CartelProhibido Cartel Prohibido (@CartelProhibido) reported

    @_Renato_Cardoso @HostGatorBrasil @hostgator sucks

  • r_sotojr Ricky (@r_sotojr) reported

    @HostGator DAY SIX OF HORRIBLE SERVICE. Who even runs this company? Anyone suggestions on hosting providers? This is the second time in a year they've screwed up emails for this long. Last time they blamed AWS for a TWO WEEK outage. STAY AWAY.

  • r_sotojr Ricky (@r_sotojr) reported

    @MagoDuende @HostGator Day six and counting. No, last December they were down for 2 weeks. It was a disaster with my customers.

  • shoaibhussain Shoaib Hussain (@shoaibhussain) reported

    @EsquibalUSA @HostGator Same thing happened with me. It had been happening once in a while since I first got my hosting. I turned a blind eye all this time but since last week websites and email have been going down practically for 70% of the time had to make a hard choice to change hosting! Good luck!

  • aaronsilverman Aaron Silverman (@aaronsilverman) reported

    @HostGator My goal is to have a hosting provider that does not go down twice in a week? Do you think you can help with that?

  • r_sotojr Ricky (@r_sotojr) reported

    @HGSupport @CartelProhibido Usually when people don't have an ETA means they don't even know where the problem is. If this is the case then just say so so we can begin migrating our services ASAP.

  • moz_trip TripMoz (@moz_trip) reported

    @HGSupport beware this company has stopped being reliable, @HostGator again has problems with email and didn’t inform me about this, I had to call in.. a service so important to a business and i just didn’t had it for days losing money.

  • dpcnh1 Dave Corbin (@dpcnh1) reported

    @HostGator Still outbound email issues. Very problematic.

  • Dinup Dinup Parajuli (@Dinup) reported

    @HostGator Why is your server keeps having Connectivity issues?? Please provide a better support. Pathetic

  • elpandagourmet Don Fu (@elpandagourmet) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport Gentlemen, you will receive a class action lawsuit if you don't solve the problem NOW. Lawyers are already preparing the text to be presented in court.

  • JigneshDazzle Jignesh Shah (@JigneshDazzle) reported

    @HostGator This is really strange that since last 5 days you people are telling that you are resolving issue of email but nothing happening. Are u understanding in today’s world due to non working email how much business loss we are observing?
