  • dariakark Daria Kark (@dariakark) reported

    @HGSupport what's the ETA on the current outage? 3 hours and counting, hopefully not like the multiple days in July.

  • r_sotojr Ricky (@r_sotojr) reported

    @NFTMAGAZlNE @HostGator What are you talking about? this is the third outage in a year. Both previous outages left us without email for almost a month.

  • ninanet Nina (@ninanet) reported

    @HostGator Calling it a "limited customer base" is a joke, as is the "support" chat. Canned answers and talking in circles. Dedicated server with a bunch of client accounts offline, no DNS, nothing. Sounds a bunch of servers took a 💩 Anyone have any viable dedi alternatives w/ WHM/cPanel?

  • mdvaden Mario Vaden (@mdvaden) reported

    @HostGator Our website is one of those sites. I had just posted our URL to about 21,000 Facebook followers shortly before this problem.

  • Robmcg4btc robbiemcG (@Robmcg4btc) reported

    @HostGator wtf are you guys doing man? been with you for 8 years and never has something like this happened. I really hope you guys get this figured out asap. I have 15 clients all off line, the website is one thing but the email is another. Get it done. I really don't want to move hosts.

  • NeilSilberman Neil Silberman (@NeilSilberman) reported

    @HostGator not that limited-- everything down from coast to coast. Please get it together quickly.

  • r_sotojr Ricky (@r_sotojr) reported

    @CartelProhibido @LLuiano @HostGator 7 days? email was down for all of my Hostgator domains for almost a month earlier this year, and another month in the last months of 2021.

  • mvandemar Michael VanDeMar (@mvandemar) reported

    @HostGator "limited customer base" my ***, your billing portal was down as well, that affects everybody. It's been hours now, no update?

  • BarbariansWorld World Barbarians Foundation (@BarbariansWorld) reported

    @HostGator Need a timeframe, this has multiple sites down including commerce.

  • luckylastword Not Plato (@luckylastword) reported

    @altfilmguide @HostGator The "support" chat I had today was the worst support chat of my life.

  • BrianFitzcarral Fitzcarrald (@BrianFitzcarral) reported

    @HostGator It's been 2 horas already...all our suites are down...how long is going to take???

  • ReedChristian Christian Reed (@ReedChristian) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport all sites down again. 4th time in as many weeks. Absolute clown show!

  • MagoDuende Syneidesis (@MagoDuende) reported

    @HostGator But emails are also affected, I tried to send you private message because support chat is not working and is not letting me send you anything. Can you please help us with emails? thanks

  • mscproductions Steven Cortez (@mscproductions) reported

    @HostGator It’s definitely not limited customers and it’s been down for most of the day. Cpanel email and websites are down. This is unacceptable

  • HerLifeFreedom Tamyka Washington (@HerLifeFreedom) reported

    @HGSupport my sites have been down for a few hours now... what's going on? This is happening far to frequently. Guess it's time to take my business elsewhere.

  • rdillinger Randal Dillinger (@rdillinger) reported

    @altfilmguide @HostGator Agree with your observation. We moved hosting a while back due to reliability and support issues. We were going to ride out our current term with domain registrations, but after this, our timetable has changed. Cutting ties with @hostgator once this outage is resolved.

  • mvandemar Michael VanDeMar (@mvandemar) reported

    @ASouthernWriter @HostGator Billing portal is down as well. You would think with that level of outage @HGSupport would have at least tweeted *something* to acknowledge the issue, but nope. Nadda.
