Hostgator Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • smorebrands S'more Brands (@smorebrands) reported

    @HostGator I'm back online now, thanks. **** happens, I get that. But when you don't explain the situation we can't estimate the future risk. So I imagine a lot of us will assume the risk of this continuing is high and will migrate to another host.

  • DavidSa92809358 David Salgado (@DavidSa92809358) reported

    @HGSupport @IdentiGrafica server down all morning today

  • TxMerak Greg Moore (@TxMerak) reported

    @HostGator Sites down for hours on end. No response from anyone. "Phone Queue" now says there are issues and redirects to chat. Chat times out. No access to my reseller account and customers are pissed. Agree with others, might be time to look for a more reliable host...

  • mixitbaby MIXITBABY (@mixitbaby) reported

    @HostGator This whole situation is pathetic. No updates, no support and no compensation when this happens and it's happened a lot lately... anyone recommend a more reliable reseller platform that actually cares about their customers?.. like I do mine...

  • LeanneFoulger Leanne Foulger (@LeanneFoulger) reported

    @HostGator Still down. Can we get an update. This is unacceptable

  • platinummind D E L O W U S U aka Pianoman (@platinummind) reported

    @HostGator servers are down due to a cyber attack.

  • goleveled LEVELED (@goleveled) reported

    @HostGator Everyone that relies on one server to host their website is living in the early 2000s. At this point you should be using CDN networks and hosting DNS that allows your website to be up if one server goes down. Hostgator was great before Brent sold. Now there is now advancement.

  • SharpguyRich Rich (@SharpguyRich) reported

    @HostGator and work on SSL for the brave browser...Im sick of this crap. Every time I pull up my site the lock is missing....this keeps happening, and the last time I could not even log in to my HostGator dashboard...HG is going downhill

  • JuxVP Bryant Hester (@JuxVP) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator Dedicated server is down going on three hours now. Was informed by support call that there was no need for me to report. Any ETA on restoration of service?

  • webdesignpr Unlimited Studios (@webdesignpr) reported

    @HostGator We are loosing face and money. Please solve this issue ASAP! We, your customers, will loose money and clients.

  • MacMavens MacMaven Consulting (@MacMavens) reported

    @HGSupport, I'm supporting a HostGator customer with IMAP mail. A problem with a large inbox: iOS Mail app isn't sorting chronologically when downloading mail. Presumably it's sorting by message UID on server, which got out of order. Do you have a procedure to fix UID order?

  • Ashishhustle Ashish (@Ashishhustle) reported

    @HostGator Eventually the server is responsive. Seems like a network issue.

  • BytesnBeersTV Bytesnbeers (@BytesnBeersTV) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport all my sites are still down. What is going on over there??!?

  • prometeusx Oscar Aguilar (@prometeusx) reported

    @GTrader38 @HostGator I´ve been wiht HG for more than 10 years but Im moving all my accounts now bcuz all the problems, I´ve been testing racknerds for 2 months and so far so good and the support is really good and fast

  • SaltSolutionINC Salt Solutions INC (@SaltSolutionINC) reported

    @HostGator This is the second time, my websites going down... It is about time to move to another provider. I have been with HG for couple years, unfortunately the service is going down and it is getting worse. All my websites are down right now for 3 hours so far.

  • SaltSolutionINC Salt Solutions INC (@SaltSolutionINC) reported

    @PngImgCom @HostGator @FastCometCloud So far 10 websites and no issues at all. Customer support is amazing

  • Philalethesa Central Scrutinizer (@Philalethesa) reported

    @HostGator After years of literally no problems there's been frequent outages over the last couple of weeks. What's happening? Online chat just dumps my connection. All in all very poor service from the gators. I'm getting ready to jump ship!

  • MontrealSpur montrealspur (@MontrealSpur) reported

    All my clients are down as well. @hostgator - please give us an estimate when this might be resolved. Many of us are having massive problems because of this.

  • Ashishhustle Ashish (@Ashishhustle) reported

    @HostGator The fun part is their server is now responsive but chat support is still in pitch black mode.

  • pessoasc Sergio Pessoa (@pessoasc) reported

    @HostGator What can I tell my clients? Really! If I have to say that there will be no service all day, I prefer to do it right now. Otherwise I have people all over me all the time.

  • giovaserna Giovanni Serna (@giovaserna) reported

    @HostGator I’ve been working for 10 years, but no more…3 break down ( 21 Oct, 26 Oct and Today) is toooooo much.

  • _LifeOfJohn John Goulding (@_LifeOfJohn) reported

    @R1Creative @HostGator Same. Used em for years. Price gone up and up in that time. And service getting worse. Lack of comms pees me off.

  • MichaelYorgle Michael Ray (@MichaelYorgle) reported

    @HostGator Huge problem. 3 of my 4 reseller accounts are down and 4 of my client's 8 servers are down. Please give us more information, some kind of update. This is much bigger than some websites are down. It looks like you have dozens of servers completely offline.

  • nasir8891 Nasir Khan Saikat (@nasir8891) reported

    @HostGator this is happening again and again. I faced similar issue multiple times in last few weeks!

  • BytesnBeersTV Bytesnbeers (@BytesnBeersTV) reported

    @hostgator used to by my go to for stable hosting...today all of my clients' sites and email have been down ALL DAY, no communication from HG, support is useless, and I'm done. Please send me your hosting co recommendations, this is absolute bullshit.

  • sid1035 siddharth sharma (@sid1035) reported

  • prometeusx Oscar Aguilar (@prometeusx) reported

    @LaurelNevans @HostGator @HGSupport I´ve been testing racknerds for more than 2 months and so far so good, I´m moving all my accounts from HG, and the support has been good and fast

  • SeamanPandita Pandita (@SeamanPandita) reported
