    @moorephoto @mediatemple @GoDaddy Same here. I tried to send an email this morning. Again, it's stuck in my outbox waiting to be sent a half hour later. I'm switching to HostGator. FYI, I noticed your site is down as well. Also, did you get your email archived or redirected?

  • mdgrkb mdgrkb (@mdgrkb) reported

    @HostGator So after waiting 15 minutes more, 35 minutes total, being number 1 in queue, the chat window said it disconnected and showed a Reconnect button. It reconnected... but put me back in position 11. A real disaster. The Latin American support team for HostGator is damaging the brand

  • ThunderMoonArt Thunder Moon Studio 💗💜💙 (@ThunderMoonArt) reported

    @HGSupport I've been on hold w/support for 35 minutes and counting. Nothing happens when I click your live chat link. The chatbot is sending me articles I've already read. I need to talk to a person. Is there anyone around who can help? Your hours say 7AM-12AM--is that accurate?

  • FilipposXi Filippos Xi (@FilipposXi) reported

    3 days now and the problem persists! I am having outgoing email issues again and again with @hostgator @HGSupport. My problem was escalated and the team says that everything is fine. In the meantime clients are calling that their recipients are not getting their emails... Why???

  • top20webhostin1 top20webhosting (@top20webhostin1) reported

    @ri_eg98 Error while ordering, better try someone reliable take a look at @rshosting hosting provider since 2002. Will offer customer support 24x7. Hostgator livechat customer support is limited.

  • DerrickNjoroge8 Derrick Njoroge (@DerrickNjoroge8) reported

    @ger_abol @HostGator Namecheap is better, safaricom, the worst

  • moisesisaax 0xobsessed 💜 (@moisesisaax) reported

    I spent 50 minutes on the phone @HGSupport @HostGator support yesterday, told it was a priority and I haven't heard from anyone besides being told to problem is solved??

  • nameandmark nameandmark.com (@nameandmark) reported

    @HostGator been with you 11 years + & we are so close to leaving. Your chat support is a mess..either lies or don't understand English & getting to people who know is almost impossible. What happened to your great service? Disappointed.

  • Zen62com Zennie Abraham CEO ZENNIE62MEDIA INC #CES2023 (@Zen62com) reported

    No response from HostGator on prematurely closed ticket or live chat not working. What's up @HostGator @HGSupport ??

  • GOTDAYUMMM1 Justin Rod 🐗🐗WPS🐗🐗 (@GOTDAYUMMM1) reported from Baucum, Arkansas

    HostGator, worst at hosting websites.

  • LocalNerdMe LocalNerd (@LocalNerdMe) reported

    @HostGator not having the ability to manage my DNS without a hosting platform is primitive. I cant believe I need to contact support multiple times to make simple changes to DNS A records for a domain I purchased here. trash.

  • HFandHomework Natalie 😷 (@HFandHomework) reported

    @BalconyMR @HGSupport The agent I dealt with was patronizing and condescending, and claimed no supervisors were available. Requested a callback from a supervisor, but I seriously doubt that request was made. @hostgator I am DEEPLY disappointed with the quality of your front-line support.

  • tarakiyee not (@tarakiyee) reported

    I tried to reach out to hostgator support and they ******* rate limited me. wtf.

  • channelforbus ChannelForbus (@channelforbus) reported

    Until these damn companies stop calling me due to your lack of security and urgency in this matter I’ll be uploading every call I get and tagging @hostgator to show y’all what kinds bullshit I’ve had to deal with

  • Teespurple Tees Purple Martini (@Teespurple) reported

    @HGSupport How my site has been down since January and you’re still taking my money. I’m unable to get a manager call back just tickets

  • Shadowdancesaga WriterMarkWooden (@Shadowdancesaga) reported

    @HGSupport Been trying to use chat support last two days. When I click on the Start Chat button, the chat doesn't start. Instead, I'm taken to the support page. Is chat down? Please and thank you

  • ri_eg98 Ricardo Estrada (@ri_eg98) reported

    @HGSupport Your chat support sucks, I haven’t received any help even when you sent me a dm, in looking for a different provider now, thanks

  • hugomolinasa Hugo Molina (@hugomolinasa) reported

  • Shadowdancesaga WriterMarkWooden (@Shadowdancesaga) reported

    @HGSupport I've tried two different computers and both Chrome and Edge. Both pull up the support page but don't start chat. Is there a link you can send me?

  • stephenvcharles Stephen Charles 🇻🇮 🤙🏿🎱💻 (@stephenvcharles) reported

    Who do you recommend for Hosting besides @HostGator? My site is down multiple times in an hour and Jetpack notifications are constant. What's going on??? Switch me to a different server or something. Can't ever reach support. This is a bad look. #hostgator

  • ra101 Rajesh Acharya 🇨🇦 (@ra101) reported

    Bad experience with @HostGator . I have been a customer for more than 10 years. Recently they shut down all my websites. Even after several days and hours of work in cleanup, refused to restore them. To top that, they charged me for three more years and then refused to refund me…

  • FilipposXi Filippos Xi (@FilipposXi) reported

    I am having outgoing email issues again with @hostgator @HGSupport . Incoming is working fine. Is there a problem with the mail servers?

  • WPSiteHelp Paul Taubman (@WPSiteHelp) reported

    As of November 28, 2022, PHP 7.4 reached its end of life. A client is on @HostGator and cannot get support tto provide PHP v8.0 on the account. How can they even think this acceptable?

  • socialdesigner socialdesigner (@socialdesigner) reported

    @moorephoto @mediatemple @GoDaddy Did you ever get help? I noticed your site is down. I've never seen so many webhost problems. I'm still having email problems after 10 days! I'm jumping ship. Going to HostGator. Thank God I took most clients off MT last year. A client already fired me bc of horrible service.

  • pnganwani Pradeep (@pnganwani) reported

    @HGSupport my webmail is not working since morning. I can neither receive nor send emails. contacted support twice. First one solved the problem but was short-lived. The second said problem will solve in an hour. More than an hour still same problem

  • bisot ᨅᨗᨔᨚᨈᨛ (@bisot) reported
