    @HostGator Hi @HostGator I am still in the chat and now for 26 minutes and not a single admin has come to see about my issue.

    @HostGator @JanesErica49730 I completely agree, the new Roundcube sucks. To make it worse, they are completely tone deaf to why we don't like it. Their comment "You will get used to it". 😳

  • PeterVadala

    I think @Hostgator @HGSupport @NewfoldDigital fixed it. I don't want to be too hopeful here, however I think they may have resolved the issue.

    @HGSupport @HostGator What else do you need.D server has been down for 3 weeks. When it happened we immediately contacted you, and you recommended, we purchase a new dedicated server for migration, which we did but you never could fix the old server to migrate us to D new. *I-25506113 is the ref ID*

    @HostGator Apparently it was a server issue but HG support was able to help and resolved it within minutes. Thank you, we are going on 5 years with HG 🐊🙌🏻

    @HGSupport @HostGator @spamhaus Your tech support sucks. They have been working on it for 2 days. My company email still doesn't work!! If your employees were competent your service would work

    @HostGator @HGSupport my server has been down for 6 Day now the thing is your team locked out the server ports due recent cpanel issue, but till now I didn't get any followup or solution from your team they tell me to wait for 24-48 hr everyday and then give no reply

    Looks like @HostGator, @HGSupport's website installer is down (both attempting Wordpress install and blank site)? Freezing up on my account, can't proceed. Browser refreshes and multiple attempts don't work. Ugh - technology.

    @HostGator I'm a reseller and all my customers' sites are STILL DOWN and where is the fix???

  • DanMicovic
    Daniel Micovic (@DanMicovic) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator week 2 of server being down and zero access to my sites or emails. Escalated support has stopped responding, no updates on open tickets and zero responses from support here. Has @HostGator given up?

  • Gabbybooks82
    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??

  • dadeze
    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.

  • SetraHost

    Thinking about leaving Bluehost, HostGator, GoDaddy or SiteGround? We make it easy with free same day migrations, zero downtime and real human support. No risk - just faster, more reliable hosting, at lower pricing. Let us know if you have any questions and we're here to help!

    @HGSupport @HostGator This was a back end, server-related Wordpress issue. Not every Wordpress problem has to do with theme or plugin, singularly. Also, there's an outstanding malware problem HostGator was supposed to solve and call me about, and did phone call.

  • lumeatortellars
    stellarum (@lumeatortellars) reported

    @DanMicovic @HostGator @HGSupport I have a client’s site that’s been down since Sunday night and our web team has received nothing other than the same copy/paste response I’ve seen support using on here and there’s no telling how many sales they’re losing.

  • DanMicovic
    Daniel Micovic (@DanMicovic) reported

    @Hostgator @HGSupport We are entering Week 2 without access to revenue producing websites and still no updates from "escalated support team". This is obviously beyond HG scope as no other hosts are still struggling with this issue. Unacceptable.

  • HGSupport
    HostGator Support (@HGSupport) reported

    @DanMicovic @HostGator Thank you for continuing to stay in touch with us. If you have contacted support about this issue, then we have made sure that our engineers know that your account is affected.

    @HostGator @HGSupport When will you fix your email hosting? You provide the worst service ever!

  • JoanTReynolds

    @HostGator I cannot login to my hostgator account. Support is now useless.

    Hey @HGSupport @HostGator I am waiting for someone to respond to my presents in the help cue in my server. 10 minutes and counting.

  • mettersoy
    Mehmet (@mettersoy) reported

    HostGator support eventually confirmed it: “All outbound connections are blocked.” Yes. The server could not make outbound HTTPS requests (port 443). If you’re a dev, you already know: That breaks EVERYTHING.

    @YoungbloodJoe @HostGator Out of all the shared hosting - I've had the least problems with Bluehost.

  • AlexVibeCode
    Alex | Vibe Coder (@AlexVibeCode) reported

    @ChristianNFocus @HostGator That’s the worst kind of billing hit — not just expensive, but disconnected from actual usage.

  • DanMicovic
    Daniel Micovic (@DanMicovic) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator Nothing is connecting. No cPanel or WHM access, sites and email still down.

  • dayna12121

    @voytekbereza @HostGator Support quality matters just as much as uptime and pricing. Hoping this gets addressed quickly. Would appreciate an update from the team soon.

  • francojosephsd

    @HGSupport How many sites do @HostGator have down?

  • darthguero
    Nes (@darthguero) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator Absolutely horrible customer support. Gator AI told me a configuration was done and was not true. Tried email and it was rejected. Chats claimed my user ID was incorrect and unable to get it via email. Nothing ever came. Is this still a real company?

    @HGSupport @HostGatorES I already sent them the message, I need help as soon as possible.

    Hey @grok do you know why HostGator now closes its offices rather than give 24-hour support, unlike they sed to ?

    @HGSupport my site is down. I need help now
