    @HostGator I'm having DNS email issues. What's up?

  • Megannewman99 Megan Newman | eCommerce | Startups (@Megannewman99) reported

    @Zagoren @HostGator Unfortunately, there are a lot of customers whose websites get infected on HostGator servers. This is one of the reasons to have premium hosting providers like @tdwebservices where there are regular scans etc., and Malware will never be due to the server issue.

  • JoLuijten Squirrel Monkey (@JoLuijten) reported

    @HGSupport I am waiting 1.5 months for a solution to my problem. Can you please answer my DM?

  • TORehman Tariq O. Rehman (@TORehman) reported

    @HostIndotPk @ShahMood We and thousands of others suffered from HostGator lately. Though we are back to business but it was a terrible week.

  • MluhyaOnline Mluhya Online (@MluhyaOnline) reported

    @HostGator your services have become bad and sh*t compared to last 5 years. Fix or migration happens.

  • motikharel Moti Kharel (@motikharel) reported

    @ionos_com worst web hosting, no cPanel, none of the file and folder are uploaded with correct file permission. Pay little extra a go to Hostgator.

  • ChelleMarie393 Chelle👻🏳️‍⚧️ (@ChelleMarie393) reported

    @zenmajoo Yeah I am working on a redesign of a WordPress site that is hosted on HostGator. I bought a template I like, now i gotta figure out how to design the new site without taking the old one down and ****. I’ll dm i tmrw

  • IndStockInvest India Stock Investing (@IndStockInvest) reported

    @bluehost @bluehostsupport i bought a domain and hosting from you yesterday. There were some cloudflare issues where one of your agent messed it up. The site is still not up. Your 24/7 chat nobody responds either. I am so disappointed. I should have stayed with @HostGator

  • dantediakos Danté Diákos Fillyau (@dantediakos) reported

    @HostGator you have just lost a faithful client since 2008. In the past 10 days multiple sites have been down because of your internal server errors. Moving allllll my sites within the next 2 months.

  • cryptodevdad CryptoDevDad (@cryptodevdad) reported

    @HostDash They are saying email server connectivity. Our email @HostGator worked for two hours today though, so that was nice. Now they are down again.

  • JabronieRamone Eric Denton (@JabronieRamone) reported

    @keithlaw @sixelmike @HGSupport Same issue. Site won’t load on iPhone at least

  • technolass Caroline Toews (@technolass) reported

    @Loravara We're with Hostgator right now and haven't had problems with it in terms of adding email accounts or Wordpress installations. Previously we were with Dreamhost, and they were fabulous until they started forcing their anty-spam stuff on us rather than letting us do it ourselves.

  • AA_MediaStudios AA Media Studios (@AA_MediaStudios) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator can you confirm that there are some server issues and the admin is working on it? We've had issues with some sites for 24 hours!

  • Zagoren Zagoren Collective (@Zagoren) reported

    @HostGator Hostgator is the worst. I have spent 3 hours on hold today going between hostgator and Sitelock. It appears to be a sales scam as neither company can provide any information as to why there is malware on one of our sites that we pay them to monitor and remove. Smells fishy

  • SharitaMH2 Sharita M. Humphrey, CFEI (@SharitaMH2) reported

    @HGSupport If your calls are recorded then you will be able to clearly hear your rep state that the issue that happened today was due to the ball being dropped on your end. I would like this issue investigated.

  • cryptodevdad CryptoDevDad (@cryptodevdad) reported

    @HostGator Our team is still having email issues since FRIDAY... started with not being able to reply, then our incoming emails were getting rejected, now we cannot even login. Agents in support have no answers. Terrible.

  • hitshah27 Hit shah (@hitshah27) reported

    @HostGator My site is down My business is stopped I can't be able to do payment for renewing my domain Thank you for your patience in advance. this is the case number for your reference: 41283118 This is what I get from chat support after 10hours. 3rd class service@HostGator

  • HeathDingwell Heath Dingwell (@HeathDingwell) reported from Port Saint Lucie, Florida

    @HostGator Your chat support down? Tried a couple of times now to speak with someone - get a message saying I’ll be connected to an agent within 5 minutes, and yet no one ever shows up. Need to renew my domain, but portal says my domain has been deleted. How’s that happen?

  • mm_mmm mike mcghee | BLM | #ECCC '22 | commissions open (@mm_mmm) reported

    @bySeronita @Orbitaldropkick @_Godotto Currently paying $14/month with dreamhost, which has gone up over the years (domain reg is now $20 with them). Will probably just plunk down a few hundred with hostgator for the $4/month promo soon. Those are base rates since i have ~no~ traffic There's also wix/squarespace etc

  • Rebunkedpod Rebunked (@Rebunkedpod) reported

    @HostGator Everyone I talk to there seems to have a different story and nobody seems to really understand what's going on or seems to care about the issue. There is a severe communication barrier, and I don't know what to do. Considering legal action at this point.

  • SspVidushi Vidushi Infotech SSP Pvt. Ltd (@SspVidushi) reported

    @HGSupport we raise more than 4 tickets on HostGator last few weeks and yet not get a resolution on that, we follow up with the support team, and we got the typical answer " our admin working on it and they will send an update on mail" . no one takes this on high priority.

  • hostgatorindia HostGator India (@hostgatorindia) reported

    @ParasPa13524935 @HostGator @HGSupport Hi Paras, we are sorry to have disappointed you. Please let us know if the issue is still unresolved and if you need any assistance with the same.

  • ImParthPandya Parth J Pandya (@ImParthPandya) reported

    Hello @HostGator team, we are facing tremendous issues in payment due to the norm of Reserve Bank of India's guideline of November 2021. Do you see any possibilities of registering yourself for e-mendate like other Intl companies? Otherwise, we have to quit Hostgator.

  • AnujKum25040178 Anuj Nagar (@AnujKum25040178) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport @hostgatorindia you have the most untrained customer support. Call time is limited to 30 mins and your Exective takes 15 mins to understand the issue and put on hold for next 15 mins. I have made 15 calls in last week but issue isn’t resolved yet

  • Mikebcreative1 Michael B (@Mikebcreative1) reported

    @realPublicEmily Ok thanks! I'll update it. The domains were a pain. I had to move my name squarespace to nicepage then finally hostgator. A lot of bad customer service, and some other things.

  • Rebunkedpod Rebunked (@Rebunkedpod) reported

    @HostGator Hey Hostgator, I am at a loss of what to do with this point. I have spoken to customer support maybe 10 times over the course of the last two weeks. My website got deleted by somebody at hostgator and nobody can tell me what the problem is. I'm losing tons of money and customers.

  • nilanjanakcs Nilanjana Mitra (@nilanjanakcs) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport Your hosting service and support is pathetic. Our website is down since 3 days now and sometimes it's being told that Ticket is in queue and sometimes told it's in process. Even you don't care to send an email to update the status.😡
