  • JohnPicacio John Picacio (@JohnPicacio) reported

    Anyone having major trouble with @HostGator? Email service intermittent two days in a row. Website down. Fix your stuff, @HGSupport. #hostgator #hostgatordown

  • realbeneverson Ben Everson🎙🎧🎼✒️🏈 (@realbeneverson) reported

    @HGSupport It was down for about 30 minutes but it is back up now. Thanks!

  • burumanet Buruma (@burumanet) reported

    Our sites have been up and down frequently over the past 24+ hours. I got fed up and called @HostGator this morning and they cited multiple servers under virus/hacking attack. Claimed ours would be online again hours ago. Still nothing. Definitely requesting a refund for April.

  • ZadinaAbayas Zadina Abayas (@ZadinaAbayas) reported

    @HostGator my site has been doing down repeatedly. Your reps sold me packages and I’m still having the same issues. Who is the owner of HostGator???? Is this how your company works???

  • karan_gadhavi Karan Gadhavi (@karan_gadhavi) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport is not working? Trying to connect for the last 3 days but have not been able to connect it. #Service

  • PatelsWerner Werner G. Patels (@PatelsWerner) reported

    @realbeneverson @HGSupport Don’t celebrate too soon, because all the sites are down again!

  • BillyDann1 Billy Dann (@BillyDann1) reported

    Hey @HGSupport I'm having problems logging into my website - are your servers having issues?

  • ChncConnections ChanceConnections (@ChncConnections) reported

    @HGSupport @mitchellclong @HostGator That link says the issue is closed, it's clearly not closed.

  • HollyRorie Holly Rorie (@HollyRorie) reported

    @KhloeStone2 @HostGator Not necessary. Hostgator has excellent customer service. Stop trying to scam people, that's predatory behavior! Rethink your life!

  • mitchellclong Moe Long (@mitchellclong) reported

    @smlsunburst @HostGator Same! Or load cPanel. This is a huge issue. Occasional downtime, ok. But not daily downtime

  • jeff_rogerson Jeff Rogerson (@jeff_rogerson) reported

    @ryandouglas0410 @HostGator @HGSupport Can you tell me how long you’ve been experiencing this deteriorated service. I only noticed this morning, but I haven’t been around my site since Thursday.

  • LightBeforeSun LightBeforeSun (@LightBeforeSun) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport Please be a respectable company, and make a public statement. Take ownership for this issue.

  • zimpeterw Peter Wright (@zimpeterw) reported

    @mitchellclong @HostGator Same problem on my websites on Saturday and Sunday.

  • dvasfm dvasfm (@dvasfm) reported

    @HGSupport @realbeneverson They just updated it, very belatedly, to admit that everything is still broken. Huge chunks of time yesterday and today are not acceptable for a host as huge as HG. Where are the backup systems? No need for my domain, it's a HG-wide issue.

  • DoRoyalHost DoRoyal Hosting (@DoRoyalHost) reported

    Them: “Why should I host with you instead of HostGator?” Us: “Our Jester won’t bite your hands off. We can’t say the same for their gator.” Apparently our response got us a new customer.

  • PatelsWerner Werner G. Patels (@PatelsWerner) reported

    @HGSupport @realbeneverson The very fact that your support was saying just before that you guys hadn’t even been aware of an issue when your whole system had already been down for at least an hour proves that you guys are clueless. You’re not even monitoring your own system!

  • SaltukalpInan Saltukalp İNAN (@SaltukalpInan) reported

    Could you please update the Network Status page of Hosgator forums about the outage @HGSupport ?

  • ScottDimmich Scott Dimmich (@ScottDimmich) reported

    Weather updates will be late today. Second day in a row with DNS, plugin, and cPanel issues. Anyone else with @HostGator having issues? @HGSupport

  • kushabcd1234123 RutSmash (@kushabcd1234123) reported

    @msqinc @HGSupport Same here. This company is becoming unreliable. We have ads running so this is literally costing us money. Yesterday it was down for an hour or two and today again. Absolutely terrible.

  • FengRonnie Ronnie Feng (@FengRonnie) reported

    @HostGator hosting is down and my email is toast too

  • rainshohei Rain. ✨ ISU FLOP 👎 (@rainshohei) reported

    @HostGator It's mindblowing that more than 3 people at HostGator support and their tech specialist can't even fix and configure the SPF problem. This is ridiculous.

  • dvasfm dvasfm (@dvasfm) reported

    @HGSupport @realbeneverson I am still impacted, or I would not be posting. I have attempted to connect to my server (and 5 other HG servers) from a total of 24 VPN locations. None of them work. Everything is down. Site. CPanel. SMTP. FTP. Everything.

  • PatelsWerner Werner G. Patels (@PatelsWerner) reported

    @realbeneverson @HGSupport Yes, all sites are down. Don’t bother with a support request, it’s useless. They’ll figure it out eventually. Unfortunately, the Gator is not exactly the brightest bulb in the chandelier.

  • msqinc Sandra (@msqinc) reported

    @HGSupport I have 3 sites on 2 accounts that are having issues. 1 account is completely down the other with 2 sites is going up and down. Are you having an outage?

  • LayDownABrick Ryan (@LayDownABrick) reported

    Hostgator is the worst company on the face of the Earth. Had a great push day, though. Almost makes up for it.

  • HollyRorie Holly Rorie (@HollyRorie) reported

    @HostGator been with you many years with no issues. Suddenly all my sites are down. Were you hacked?

  • davilacs {n}Ever (@davilacs) reported

    @HostGator @WooCommerce What's happening with your service, all week my sites are going down, thinking about moving to another company, please fix your problem (whatever are you doing)

  • MitziSzereto Mitzi Szereto (@MitziSzereto) reported

    @HGSupport Websites down, emails won't load in Cpanel. What's happening? 🙁

  • kushabcd1234123 RutSmash (@kushabcd1234123) reported

    @mitchellclong @HostGator Had the same issue yesterday and now today. Seriously considering a switch now. With fb ads running in the background this kind of thing is a straight financial loss for us.

  • mitchellclong Moe Long (@mitchellclong) reported

    Anyone else having major @HostGator issues? This is the second time in two days that two of my websites have gone offline
