    @HostGator @hostgatorindia @HGSupport What sort of support is this? Been trying to connect via chat for the past 1 hr and still its not getting connected. The websites hosted are crawling like a tortoise and not even able to connect to your support.

  • MyNameIsKingdom Anthony Ruttgaizer (@MyNameIsKingdom) reported

    So, @mojomarketplace sold me a website theme that does not work. It took me 3 days and 10 calls to @HostGator tech support to figure out exactly what the problem was. I ended up buying a different theme elsewhere and now Mojo is refusing to refund my money. (1/3)

  • AccessibleSys Accessible Systems (@AccessibleSys) reported

    @HGSupport That doesn't help me. I have been emailing admin for 2 weeks and no backup file or answer. Who can escalate this to someone who can help me?

  • Beruud Jay Zippo (@Beruud) reported

    So @HostGator is down. Luckily I saved my content I wrote before it **** the bed. Took CSR 12 minutes to tell me, they are rebooting the server. Since I am in the industry, that should take 2-3 minutes. It's been over an hour. GRRRR. Oh well, guess I can watch #bills play.

  • AManAWarrior 𝒜𝑔𝒽𝒶 𝓡𝓸s𝓱𝓪𝓪𝓷 k𝒽𝒶𝓃 (@AManAWarrior) reported

    @mirela_iepurela @HostGator Maybe the server went down?

  • MyNameIsKingdom Anthony Ruttgaizer (@MyNameIsKingdom) reported

    Customer Support at @HostGator has always been amazing to me but I'm hoping that THIS is the call that finally solves whatever has kept my website down for the past two days because I've had more than enough of their frigging hold music. 🙄

  • gila_be Gila von Meissner (@gila_be) reported

    @linziehunter @squarespace Easier than trying to get HostGator on the line, especially when the problem is basically my fault somehow. :) I am rebuilding site this week, so I am bitching the whole time... still like it better than Square.

  • AManAWarrior 𝒜𝑔𝒽𝒶 𝓡𝓸s𝓱𝓪𝓪𝓷 k𝒽𝒶𝓃 (@AManAWarrior) reported

    @mirela_iepurela @HostGator just checked. they set it up btw always take a whole site backup every week in case the server went down you would have your data.

  • ChemeyesLtd Chemeyes Pet Health (@ChemeyesLtd) reported

    @HGSupport is there a problem with the online chat function, I've been 'holding' for hours 😒

  • KK35359713 KK (@KK35359713) reported

    @GoDaddyHelp My site keeps going down you fix it one day and it’s down again the NEXT DAY what is going on?!!! I’m moving to officially today I cannot TAKE THIS ANYMORE! @HostGator

  • LindaKleist Linda Miner Kleist (@LindaKleist) reported

    @HGSupport, 5 calls and chats with your techs since 12-17-20: our website is blocked and we have been escalated a higher level of support with NO solution or updates. #CustomerService 10 years w/ HG—so disappointed!

  • Beruud Jay Zippo (@Beruud) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator No. Your servers were down, verified by a CSR. They just came back up. Down for over an hour. But all is well now. Thanks 👍

  • ziplock581 չเקɭ๏ςк (@ziplock581) reported

    I just spent 4 hours in @hostgator online support chat about an urgent problem before they hung up on me. Take heed people, they're quick to bill but crap support. Had been with them about 15 years and this isn't the first occasional problem but is the first time they hung up

  • chris5101520 Spider Chris (@chris5101520) reported

    @BrandonStraka Get on hostgator and register your own domain, they provide emails with the service

  • FigTender Tender Fig Branches (@FigTender) reported

    Parler will probably go down and maybe even Rumble. They will get control of big hosting companies like Hostgator, Blue Host, etc. and maybe even big registrars like Godaddy and Namecheap. So they will control the internet and all information. ...for 10 dark days.

  • somedocs Doctors On Social Media (@somedocs) reported from Tenafly, New Jersey

    Our website crashed earlier today, after reaching out to @hostgator for a minor change. It is unfortunate to have to report that, 4 hours into being down, we are still on hold and cannot get the website up. Thk u for understanding. We may have to postpone tonight’s live lecture.

  • mirela_iepurela The Travel Bunny 🐰 | Mirela Letailleur (@mirela_iepurela) reported

    I'm so sorry the blog is down! I've been on chat with @HostGator for over an hour and a half. It's not just the blog, but also my email & Cpanel. Now I'm chatting with the 5th person. They either transfer me randomly to other chat agents or I get disconnected😭 #travelbloggerlife

  • mirela_iepurela The Travel Bunny 🐰 | Mirela Letailleur (@mirela_iepurela) reported

    @HostGator @HostGator does not offer 99.9% uptime and they don't offer speed, as advertised. In addition, the customer service is terrible. Can you prove me wrong?

  • MindyJPeltier MindyIsEditingFirstDraft! (@MindyJPeltier) reported

    @HGSupport We have temporarily disabled /home2/mindyj/public_html because it was causing performance issues on the server. Generally, we attempt to resolve these issues without disabling sites; however, this site began to affect the performance for all users on the system.

  • booksoliloquies Lay on semi-hiatus (@booksoliloquies) reported

    @yourwordsmyink via HostGator. I just used a tutorial that sadly didn't help and am now contacting their tech support 🙈

  • AccessibleSys Accessible Systems (@AccessibleSys) reported

    @HGSupport I have been a customer for 10 years at HostGator. I need serious help on Ticket #28173709. Our web server was migrated a months and 2 week of data in our php database is lost. Ticket is escalated to Admin group and no answer after 2 weeks. Can you help?

  • VeryCruelAspen CruelFindomAspen (@VeryCruelAspen) reported

    The site is down temporarily. I'm on the phone with hostgator to get it back up. Today is already kicking my ***.

  • AmberlyPSO Amberly Rothfield (@AmberlyPSO) reported

    @MissLollipopMFC @HektekDesires @ManyVids That is the part that has me. Like when Hostgator ups my plan, because they have too, they never say excited. They like beg me not to scream at them

  • ADanielHill Alberto Daniel Hill feat. ❤️ @darknetdiaries ep25 (@ADanielHill) reported

    @CisoDiagonal now i understand why hostgator doesnt have a sla.... never got an internal server error in 20 years in pair networks unless it was my fault

  • iamAngryOm Om mapari (@iamAngryOm) reported

    @FreeKaaMaal No-one replying to my messages on mail.I am really sad to say that over the time your customer service is going worst. I have three cash back issues pending !!! 1. Hostgator 2. Sporto 3. Meddybuddy Been 3 days you guys didn't gave single update on them. 🥺🥺🥺

  • mirela_iepurela The Travel Bunny 🐰 | Mirela Letailleur (@mirela_iepurela) reported

    @HostGator I've been on chat with @HostGator for over an hour and a half. It's not just the website that's down, but also my email & Cpanel. Now I'm chatting with the 5th person. They either transfer me randomly to other chat agents or I get disconnected😭

  • TheChloeManson CHLOE MANSON (@TheChloeManson) reported

    @gloriousgemma My website was *constantly* down with HostGator; their shared servers are not reliable. They do offer individual hosting but it'll cost you $120+/mo. That's the only way I'd recommend using them for anything lol

  • otakuanimeblog Otakukart.com (@otakuanimeblog) reported

    @HGSupport Absolutely worst experience with you guys. Every week all of my site go down in Hostgator VPS. No support provided whatsoever. I messaged email detail for the check-up.

  • queendelilahc delilah is disappointed, but not suprised (@queendelilahc) reported

    @gloriousgemma I bought my domain with namecheap and I do my hosting with hostgator. Then I used wordpress website builder, so my website isn't a wordpress website technically, I just use their software. ya dig? I link out to all my adult platforms, so I don't think I'll get shut down!

  • RonaldWojcik Ronald Wojcik (@RonaldWojcik) reported

    @hgsupport @hostgator unilaterally changed my Production Support Site without AUTH & scrambled DB. Tried to charge $25 fix THEIR screwup. Must wait up to 72 hours for fix. After 5+ hours & multiple disconnected calls no resolution. No Mgmt. response #286684394 #28690811.
