Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • codelogg codelog (@codelogg) reported

    @HGSupport I need emergency help, your support in Mexico is very bad, of very bad quality and they haven't been able to help me.

  • FGOABORG I need to come up with a clever name (@FGOABORG) reported

    @royboy789 Turning permalinks off and then back on was literally the resolution to half of the phone calls I had doing support at hostgator.

  • GlobalVarkey Global Varkey (@GlobalVarkey) reported

    @USATODAY @HostGator My site is pointing to some other site. I called your support 4 times as of last night and STILL NO SOLUTION. Can you hire people who know how to fix issues? I have lost all emails coming to my domain in the past 24 hours? Your NS servers seem to be HACKED

  • prometeusx Oscar Aguilar (@prometeusx) reported

    @HGSupport so, one more day has passed and still cant fix your mess..how much more? or you do have really bad admins or they have no idea what are they doing, so till when is the problem going to be fixed?

  • bdmarotta Brendon Marotta (@bdmarotta) reported

    @SubtleBodhi Tried Hostgator. My experience was that their business model was to constantly break things on your site and then charge you to fix them.

  • prometeusx Oscar Aguilar (@prometeusx) reported

    @HGSupport you have been having this "issue"for more than 4 days, and still havent fixed it

  • alifeablaze alab (@alifeablaze) reported

    blog went instantly down because hostgator sucks, it's been 8 hours since it happened and I DIDNT EVEN GET A RESPONSE.

  • swimcapz SwimCapz (@swimcapz) reported

    @HGSupport my website and email has been down for almost 48 hours because of an error in your system causing an outage of my doman. All support can tell me is that it is in a queue.....

  • prometeusx Oscar Aguilar (@prometeusx) reported

    @HGSupport how much more time until you fix the mess you made with the emails? DAYS has passed and still isnt fixed? what compensation are you going to offer? because for asking for payment you are quite efficient

  • OnionfarmsMedia Kenneth Erwin Engelhardt (@OnionfarmsMedia) reported

    Technical Issues with Onionfarms. With technical support at HostGator. No evidence of DDOS attack.

  • syncsas SyncSaS Technologies (@syncsas) reported

    Godaddy, Hostgator, Big-rock always provide different offers and off on purchasing new domain - If you are the new customer to any service then you will get huge discount's offer.

  • GlobalVarkey Global Varkey (@GlobalVarkey) reported

    @HGSupport Four 1.5 hour long calls yesterday was NOT SUFFICIENT for you to fix this issue? How many MORE TELEPHONE CALLS do I have to make to make your SUPPORT TEAM aware of FAILED MAIL DELIVERY and LOSS of EMAILS

  • jprodgers Jimmie P Rodgers (@jprodgers) reported

    I've been a @HostGator customer for well over a decade. My wife was having a major medical issue, and I missed my billing cycle. They deleted everything. No recovery options. I was a month late and missed the emails. Devastating to lose everything like that.

  • eturnti Kiran Divakaran (@eturnti) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport @hostgatorindia I have been waiting for my mail account to be working for the last 7 days and the issue is not resolved. Request your immediate action and response on this as my mail ID is not able to send any mail, frustrating. #hostgator #emailnotworking

  • TheSharedScope Nidhi | Freelance Science Writer + Strategist (@TheSharedScope) reported

    Is anyone else having issues with either WordPress, HostGator, or Jetpack? My website seems to keep crashing and coming back to life (with some random changes) all on its own and as if I wasn't stressed out enough already... I'M STRESSED! Anyone know what's happening? DM me :'(

  • jprodgers Jimmie P Rodgers (@jprodgers) reported

    @SchuylerTowne @HostGator They are restoring something now, but things will be broken. Better than nothing.

  • LionsofLiberty Lions of Liberty Podcast (@LionsofLiberty) reported

    FYI, we're aware our website is down. The backend still works, so it seems like an issue with our web host. @HostGator why has our site been down for 24 hours?

  • alifeablaze alab (@alifeablaze) reported

    btw, my original blog is still being held hostage by hostgator and no real answer from tech support (it has been almost seven hours since my first request for help)
