-
Shailesh Patel (@Shaileshhp46) reported@BigRock after Hostgator migrated to Bigrock, pathetic service. Support numbers never works. No service support. Many glitches. Should not take responsibility which you can not deliver
-
Eder (@Eder55164219) reported@HostGator That's the problem, there's no way to contact them. send DM with case number
-
Daniel Micovic (@DanMicovic) reported@Hostgator over 36 hours and no email or update, sites still down. Rep this morning cannot confirm who is or isn't on the list, as frontline reps have no access to the engineering team.
-
Zennie Abraham ZENNIE62 #SuperBowlLX #NFLDRAFT (@ZennieAbraham62) reported@HostGator Hi @HostGator and @HGSupport I am still in the chat and now for 29 minutes and not a single admin has come to see about my issue.
-
Russell Kaye (@russellskaye) reported@DanMicovic @HostGator @HGSupport I cannot access the WHM on my two Hostgator hosting products: VPS & Reseller Servers. I'm unable to get chat support either.

Zennie Abraham ZENNIE62 #SuperBowlLX #NFLDRAFT (@ZennieAbraham62) reportedHi @HostGator I am still in the chat and now for 23 minutes and not a single admin has come to see about my issue.
-
Sir Charles Cary (@SirCharlesCary) reported@HostGator @NewfoldDigital The overarching point is after 15 years and me choosing multiple years of service from you why is it that you simply cannot prorate the refund on unused time?
-
Hephzibah Magazine TV (@Gabbybooks82) reported@HostGator Pls, I can't see you solving this problem, it happened 3weeks ago, and you asked us to pay thousands of dollars and we paid. Now you are engaging us with tete talks that will certainly go no where, delay tactics so the money will expire without serving it's purpose
-
JK’s Case History (@KenMediated) reportedWhat’s wrong with HostGator? I need to contact my doctor but HostGator just gives me the runaround. Anyone have similar problems?
-
Kudehinbu Oluwaponle (@koluwaponle) reported@HostGator @HGSupport Your support lied to sell me your Nvme vps, (I have chat evidence) which could not support my legacy apps after I made payments totaling $883. I've been trying to receive refunds since Feb 10 without success. Your support has been horrible and of little use
-
Misty Lake | Photographer (@Misty_Lake) reported@HGSupport I never had a free plan. The email address doesn't say HostGator or Gator in the domain.
-
OkYall (@okyall55) reported@HostGator is the WORST! Refuses to honor links (says file doesn't exist). More than 2x expensive as @IONOS. Loses posts, media and just generally SUCKS! Customer Service is AWFUL! I'm like IONOS they have a partner who will back up your file for an expensive fee. Otherwise, they just delete your stuff and you have no option if you haven't backed it up yourself. I paid to restore a backup and didn't get half of what they deleted. The reason I know I didn't delete it myself is because it's not in the trash folder. HOSTGATOR DELETED and it's my opinion that they did it intentionally so that they could charge me for a restore and then they didn't really restore much of anything. I lost a lot of memories.
-
Chris McElroy SEO (@seochrismcelroy) reported@hostgatorserver Nice that you don't provide any phone support at all for domain names. I selected domain name in the menu. The people on the phone said since I don't have hosting with you they can't help me and nobody can help on the phone only in live chat that keeps getting disconnected while I wait on someone. Good job hostgator!
-
Daniel Micovic (@DanMicovic) reported@HostGator @HGSupport are hiding today...even escalated support is not responding...perhaps they finally gave up.
-
Cris R (@chriscrm) reportedHey @HostGator — your support portal sends users to a knowledge base with no way to open a ticket or access live chat. This is unacceptable. I need a PTR record configured Gmail silently rejects all outgoing emails from our domain. This is a basic mail server configuration
-
Karen Lakeman (@KarenLakeman) reportedterrible #CustomerService from @HGSupport today! @HostGator #CaveatEmptor if this organisation crashes your website they will blame you! #TheCustomerIsAlwaysWrong
-
Follow Me On GETTR Instead. I’m @AmericasMansMan (@PeterVadala) reportedAnd then @hostgator does this thing where they pretend to fix the problem, @newfoldDigital- but they send you to a tech person who can’t fix it I spent hours on the phone — something about optimizing the site. Clearly … not the answer. Let’s not forget when the tech people pick up the phone to clock in and ignore you for an hour… who the heck runs Newfold Digital
-
Zennie Abraham ZENNIE62MEDIA #CES #NFLDRAFT #SDCC (@ZennieAbraham62) reportedHey @HGSupport Vinayak is playing games with me. HG admins know how to update the SSL Certificate, but he acts like he can't do it and will not get help. I asked him to get a supervisor. He will not.
-
Ⓜ️ina Nathan 💻 (@minaenathan) reportedI not recommend using HostGator or Bluehost. Their security is extremely weak, management is poor, and they consistently focus on charging extra fees instead of providing reliable service. My experience with them for over 8 years has been very disappointing. #bluehost #hostgator
-
Hephzibah Magazine TV (@Gabbybooks82) reported@HGSupport Or if you can recreate the current server with the latest OS and CPANEL and restore the service, I will renew the server. We have been in business with you for over ten years, paying heavily and you can't give us our data After your system collapse??
-
✌ Brando™ 🇨🇦 Whistler (@surfingshreddie) reported@HGSupport yes. chat said it was my fault. phone help says it is a HGator issue and is fixing one website at a time
-
I REFUSE (@seanrogers8) reported@HostGator Looks like you all have been hacked again. Duplicated records DKIM DMARC SPF! When will you fix this?! @HGSupport
-
Zombyboy (@zombyboy) reported@DanMicovic @HostGator Not a single email has been sent to me since last week to let me know what is going on. For me, it's been two days (2 chat sessions and 3 phone calls at various times). The only email I received was last week telling me that our server had been patched and I didn't need to take any action. Then, a few days later, I woke up to our sales guys and editors asking why all of our sites are down. Tomorrow I will be looking at migration options.
-
Satyam Gupta (@TheSatyamGupta) reportedOur website has been down for 6 hours and the server issue is not yet fixed. @BigRock @HostGator claims 99.9% uptime in spite of this we are facing this issue.
-
TBC🏄♂️❎ (@tennisballchips) reported@HostGator @WordPress Now it's created a whole new set of problems. At first, it kept directing me to some weird temporary domain. Then I logged in and updated the settings and now it's a 403 error page. Hours of my time is going down the drain for no reason.
-
Hephzibah Magazine TV (@Gabbybooks82) reported@HGSupport I am a journalist so many Government systems depend on my brother who depends on your company. For two weeks the server has been down and he has never witnessed this kind of thing before. As a result of this my brother is totally confused, down and hospitalized
-
HostGator (@HostGator) reported@darthguero @HGSupport Have you tried our frontline phone support? If you haven't, please try to do so as they are the best to assist when it comes to this kind of issue.
-
HostGator Support (@HGSupport) reported@viva_trista @HostGator Please be aware that you will be receiving an email from escalated support outlining your path forward. Once you receive that email, please respond as soon as possible.
-
Daniel De la Cruz (@dadeze) reported@HostGator My server has been down for three weeks, and I still haven't received a response. They don't have any backups. I want to know if I should consider the data from my two accounts on the VPS lost.
-
HostGator Support (@HGSupport) reported@seanrogers8 @HostGator No need to worry, this is not a hack. DNS tools can show SPF/DKIM/DMARC records more than once when zones or hostnames overlap or if the browser has some caching issues. If you reach out to support, we can review your DNS directly and make sure everything is set correctly.
