  • amritabithi amrita 🪶 (@amritabithi) reported

    Databases down for the third time in a week @HGSupport what is going on I am about to migrate away after this.

  • amritabithi amrita 🪶 (@amritabithi) reported

    It took two days for hostgator to respond to my ticket about the entire server being down and they just said "it looks fine" while its actively being hacked I'm defintely moving the people I recommended there to the one I use now it at least separates the sites by user.

  • SkinClarity Tamara (@SkinClarity) reported

    Just a tip - you have an insane amount of pop-up advertisements for your company on the website - NOBODY likes constant pop-ups From: an annoyed long time customer @HostGator

  • Anon18760813 Anon🐹 (@Anon18760813) reported

    @HostGator Since 1998 I have been a HG client, now customer service is so bad we are leaving!

  • nyonimkata Mkata Ndomondo (Babu) (@nyonimkata) reported

    @HostGator Since morning submited my issue with many chat with HG Agent but nothing happened

  • GlewmeCorp GLEWME CITY (@GlewmeCorp) reported

    Hello everyone our site is down at the moment because @Wix is more useless than @HostGator

  • TeamSubzz Subzz (@TeamSubzz) reported

    Our server has been down 3 days. Still NO #support or #response from Windows Admin Team. When will this be fixed #hostgator?

  • technolass Caroline Toews (@technolass) reported

    @bmoore123 We gave up on Dreamhost a couple years ago because of the changes they were making to their automatic spam filtering. We're with Hostgator now and have had no problems at all.

  • Gaynellekyle Gaynelle kyle (@Gaynellekyle) reported

    @AA_MediaStudios @HostGator @HGSupport I had same issue recently until i came across will_tech02 on Instagram. He recovered my account back. You should contact him for help, he’ll definitely help you Friend.

  • amritabithi amrita 🪶 (@amritabithi) reported

    @HGSupport @OnAirMarc I checked and I can view the login from a different region but in my region it is timing out ? It looked like it was being ddosed earlier the process list in cpanel was flooding and my sites aren't that busy at all.

  • WriterWebDesig1 WriterWebDesigner (@WriterWebDesig1) reported

    It's a bit nerve-wracking following a link to @Hostgator and Chrome says the site is down. Firefox says its up. Bizarro world.

  • SteveCinq Steven Cinquegrana (@SteveCinq) reported

    @HostGator If you contact HG support be prepared to receive what seems like a randomly generated response that has nothing to do with your actual question. I tried 4 times to get a sensible reply and 4 times I received utter nonsense. Worst. Support. Ever.

  • OnAirMarc Marc Beinder 💻 (@OnAirMarc) reported from Township of Lindenwood, Missouri

    Gator4167 is down on @HostGator. Is there an eta on when it will be back up?

  • amritabithi amrita 🪶 (@amritabithi) reported

    @HGSupport @OnAirMarc Twitter will not let me DM you but gator4162 was having all kinds of database errors in cpanel earlier, it did a few days ago also but cleared up, and file manager was barely usable now the URL to cpanel is down.

  • YesMissCabrel Miss Cameron Cabrel (@YesMissCabrel) reported

    @MissLucySkye I'm TRYING to use WordPress, but HostGator is making it a real pain in the *** to install it on my domain. Every time I think I've got it, I can't find it. I just wrote that down now - Yoast SEO. Thank you tons.

  • heartsocket Heartsocket (@heartsocket) reported

    @LeppelyPlus Yes it's pretty awful, but while bad, I don't think it will ever get as bad as HostGator. Where I was told to "look to the left to find the nearest penis because I'm having trouble identifying a male".

  • munnabhai69 Robert (@munnabhai69) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator Your reference number is 35969657. Please help as I have not yet received any reply from your side. Thank you.

  • Pound4PoundGMG Pound4Pound Gaming (@Pound4PoundGMG) reported

    @HGSupport yes, this is the third time in a week the same scenario has happened and each time they have to "escalate" the ticket. They just had to do the same thing, it's hard to run a business when your website keep going down for unknown reasons.

  • amritabithi amrita 🪶 (@amritabithi) reported

    @HGSupport @OnAirMarc gator4162 is down also hopefully it is because somebody is working on it... WHM is unreachable.

  • Natallini NattieD (@Natallini) reported

    @LilPecan That's tough if you don't have more of a streamlined host. He probably wants you to get the web page design service. I've been very happy with Hostgator when I've called tech support. You can go directly to WP and download a template you can use and then upload it.

  • nyonimkata Mkata Ndomondo (Babu) (@nyonimkata) reported

    @HostGator Why everytime we have small issue on server stay down entire day? We missed those days hostgator support was super

  • arisingtech Arisi Roberto (@arisingtech) reported

    @HGSupport @ecartparts @HGSupport still having problem with SSL certificate with zephyr server. Please resolve

  • muriminyaga john murimi (@muriminyaga) reported

    @kot_hacker Problem of hosting stuff on HostGator

  • QuestFloorCare Joseph Rogers (@QuestFloorCare) reported

    Hey @HostGator, is there an advanced technical support I can speak to? I've spoken to two different people, and I'm not sure if I'm not communicating my problem effectively, but I don't feel as though my question has been answered fully.

  • SteveCinq Steven Cinquegrana (@SteveCinq) reported

    @HGSupport In your DM pre-msg you say to contact support for billing issues, so there's no point in me DMing you! And I'm definitely not going to go back through that "support" cycle of idiocy. If you REALLY provided good support I wouldn't be haranguing you on Twitter.

  • mysweetapplexxx MySweetApple (@mysweetapplexxx) reported

    @HGSupport helpchat is not working! keeps loading since days

  • NewboldHopeVCB NewboldHope (@NewboldHopeVCB) reported

    @HostGator Please help. My email accounts linked to one of my domain names aren't sending/receiving emails. I've tried to send in 5 ticket requests to your help desk & each time I press yr "Find Help" button to submit, they clear and become blank again. What can I do to get help?

  • SteveCinq Steven Cinquegrana (@SteveCinq) reported

    @HGSupport Are you kidding? I have NEVER had any kind of decent support from HostGator. It's always terrible, always "random", always like no-one gives a damn. And eventually, they just give up and stop answering, like this time, about a card issue no less. It really is time for us to move.

  • WoodyJungle Woody (@WoodyJungle) reported

    @EthaanJack Thanks I’ll check it out. I’m on my 3rd day without email and @HostGator don’t even care. Keep promising to follow up with a solution and you don’t hear back. I’m once again onto live support for the 7th hour!
