    @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.

  • DanMicovic
    Daniel Micovic (@DanMicovic) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport we are now nearing 72 hours without access to our three sites. Zero e-mails updating the situation, daily support chats (whose transcripts are emailed), multiple PM with you on this platform...and nothing. It is time for HG to begin providing real answers beyond cut-and-paste ones.

    @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!

  • Champ_Ratings

    @HostGator I've been dealing with support via chat for an hour, I'm currently on my 5th circle with them explaining we didn't order anything as we found HostGator was crap years ago, so left

    @dcodrea We know that popup looks sketchy, but it isn’t from your HostGator site; it’s a browser extension (Coupert) injecting coupon ads over your dashboard. Try incognito or another browser; if it’s gone, remove the extension. If not, support can help!

    Hi @HostGator I am still in the chat and now for 23 minutes and not a single admin has come to see about my issue.

  • DanMicovic
    Daniel Micovic (@DanMicovic) reported

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

  • PeterVadala
    Follow Me On GETTR Instead. I’m @AmericasMansMan (@PeterVadala) reported

    And 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

    @HostGator server is down for desktop app using mysql, cant connect

  • TheSatyamGupta
    Satyam Gupta (@TheSatyamGupta) reported

    Our 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.

  • PeterVadala
    Follow Me On GETTR Instead. I’m @AmericasMansMan (@PeterVadala) reported

    I asked support to escalate it after an hour and a half where they attempted to fix it but couldn’t, and took over an hour to reset the server after which it promptly crashed again. @hostgator

    @HostGator the worst service ever... don't do business with them, they will scam you

  • tommyflavio
    Tommy Flavio (@tommyflavio) reported from Town of Hamden, Connecticut

    @ionos_help_US I called support. They needed my ID and something else. Sadly, I ended up just using @HostGator which went right through and I was up with cpanel in less that 20 minutes.

    @iGoinsane101 i got openzero running on 2 servers but need the space so will remove 1 openzero server the 16gb ram one then install a web server for my x community/group, help people host simple sites if they want big sites social networks they can go to @HostGator

    Thinking about leaving Bluehost, HostGator, 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 prices. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions and we're here to help!

    @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

  • joshhumble
    Josh Humble (@joshhumble) reported

    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 @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.

    @HGSupport @HostGator been on hold for almost 30min, my website/email been down for around 8 hours, any ETA to resolve it? can't login into file manager or cpanel at all

  • geetu11
    Geetha Prabhu (Workflexi) (@geetu11) reported

    @BigRock @hostgatorindia Can someone call me on my registered mobile no. pls? Every week our emails are down and your team takes one whole day to rectify the problem. When it was hostgator, we never faced this issue. What is that you guys are doing differently that we have to suffer every week!!??

  • kishorksukumar
    Kishor K Sukumar (@kishorksukumar) reported

    Day 9 of my server being completely DOWN with @HostGator. 📉 Provided all details via DM as requested, still nothing. Tickets ACOM-3138 & E-518989 haven't seen an email update in over 60 hours. What does it take to get an actual resolution? @HGSupport

  • minaenathan

    I 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

  • Gabbybooks82
    Hephzibah Magazine TV (@Gabbybooks82) reported

    @HGSupport 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*

    @HGSupport Dear Hostgator, why is there still no solution for cpanel Security issues. Almost 48 hours are gone, our website is OFF. And not giving any ETA on this issue. We are losing our viewers which we built in years.

  • francojosephsd

    @HGSupport How many sites do @HostGator have down?

  • danielnardicio
    DN (@danielnardicio) reported

    When looking to replace the dreadful @GoDaddy @GoDaddyHelp with a better company with better customer service, try out Bluehost SiteGround DreamHost HostGator HostPapa InMotion Hosting. You dont have to accept terrible customer service.

    Hey @HGSupport Jyothi is an admin who tries to trick me rather than help me. You need to take him off work duty because he's not helping people.

  • 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?

    Dr. Simon Taki Zaku, D.B.A (@realsimonzaku_) reported

    Getting started with a website is actually quite easy. First step is to select a webhost & install your WordPress framework. I personally use and recommend @Hostgator because their customer support is phenomenal, ensuring you never wait hours to resolve tech problems.
