    URGENT! What’s wrong with HostGator? I need to contact my patient by email but HostGator just gives us the runaround. Anyone have similar problems?

    @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

    @BigRock after Hostgator migrated to Bigrock, pathetic service. Support numbers never works. No service support. Many glitches. Should not take responsibility which you can not deliver

    @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

    @HostGator @ValeriaGadioli @HostGatorBrasil We have been using a VPS server and reseller hosting for the past 15 years, and recently one of our clients' domains was infected with malware. Instead of suspending that particular domain, they shut down the whole server. For the past 7 days, more than 50 sites are held hostage

    @juhca @HGSupport @TitanEmail To assist you better, could you please send us a direct message with more details about the issue, including any relevant account or domain information?

    @voytekbereza @HostGator Sounds like a deployment or script loading issue. This is where stable infrastructure and proper server setup really make a difference.

    @HGSupport @HostGator received an email from "escalated support" that my ticket has been closed, but nothing has been done to bring my server and sites back. Please advise: The case # ACOM-3384 you are responding to has been closed.

    @HostGator @HGSupport I’m reaching out on behalf of my brother. His educational platform serving over 3000 schools in Nigeria has been down for over 2 weeks under case E-527097. We keep receiving only automated responses. Please we urgently need escalation to a senior engineer o

    @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!!??

    @HGSupport Yesterday your team gave hopeful mail like started transferring data new updated server, now it is back to square one they stopped it with some technical excuse and no estimate time for resolution to fix my issue and Also it is 1 week now since my service stopped

  • yourwebcoders
    Vrajesh Parekh (@yourwebcoders) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator But without their first enabling it is not possible, so I have finally come here (Case ID: ABU-175403, ABU-175616, ABUF-21277). If it is still not solved, then I will have to go to the consumer forum and will also take the help of the payment processors.

    @HGSupport I am a journalist so many Government systems depend on my brother who depends on your company. For two weeks the server has been down and he has never witnessed this kind of thing before. As a result of this my brother is totally confused, down and hospitalized

    @cybernaira I had HostGator (the one I mentioned earlier with the Blue and Yellow colors) and Namecheap 9 years ago, and HG's follow up is excellent. They sent me emails to make sure everything was in order and if I needed any help. The dumb thing is, I never did anything with the Website.

    @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

    @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 🐊🙌🏻

  • 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.

    Kudehinbu Oluwaponle (@koluwaponle) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport I requested using the money to cover cost of my existing snappy VPS, your support refused. They insisted on refunds, they tried refunding to my naira card, it failed and I told them to refund to my dollar card, they promised to do so but never did

  • kishorksukumar
    Kishor K Sukumar (@kishorksukumar) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport @HostGator You still haven't answered the only question that matters: WHEN? "Assigned to the best team" doesn't help me after 9 DAYS of a completely locked-out server. Stop asking for patience and give me an actual ETA for ACOM-3138 immediately!

    @DerNord036 I miss HostGator. They were a great, local Texas company with excellent service, then they sold to some conglomerate and now it's trash manned by jeets.

  • HGSupport
    HostGator Support (@HGSupport) reported

    @academicoweb @HostGator We hear you that you are having trouble with the auth code and have concerns about the price and specs of your hosting plan. Repeatedly mentioning us in posts and replies keeps us going through notifications instead of being able to help you. Hence, "spam." Our DMs are open.

  • yourwebcoders
    Vrajesh Parekh (@yourwebcoders) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator And even after deleting and cleaning everything on 29th Jul, they are not even replying to the email, and their support is unable to do anything, just playing from pillar to post (senior tier 1, higher admin, level 2 and whatnot). I am extremely disappointed and want to migrate,

  • 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??
