    Imagine a company the size of @HostGator still uses real humans in their support. I've been using them for years and their customer support is the number one reason I won't be leaving anytime soon. A company's CS is one of the best marketing strategies often ignored. They'd learn

    @Hostgator over 36 hours and no email or update, sites still down. Rep this morning cannot confirm who is or isn't on the list, as frontline reps have no access to the engineering team.

    @HGSupport worst ever service you deleted my account because I canceled the email service and now my domain which u have is blocked I can’t get emails because the email on the account is in this domain so I can’t even reset the password and I don’t remember the pin

    What’s wrong with HostGator? I need to contact my doctor but HostGator just gives me the runaround. Anyone have similar problems?

    After 14 years as a HostGator customer, I’m leaving. Not because of price. Not because of performance. But because they silently blocked all outbound traffic and took down my ecommerce business. 🧵👇

    Hey @HGSupport Vinayak is playing games with me. HG admins know how to update the SSL Certificate, but he acts like he can't do it and will not get help. I asked him to get a supervisor. He will not.

    Is Hostgator down for anyone? my sites are down all of the sudden and their support agent doesn't seem to find the issue.

    @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

    Matt Tankersley (@txtanks) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport WHY is your service so horrific!?!?!?!? Why do you have so many customers sites down for 10+ days AND you can’t provide timely support or committed chat/documentation follow-up. EVER! Never EVER use this org for anything!

  • kishorksukumar
    Kishor K Sukumar (@kishorksukumar) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator still no follow up and telling me to wait until server is enabled then they will proceed with migration and the worst part is there is no Estimate time when will that happen Currently i got the same answer for 6 days repeatedly

    Later on I designed the theme for the control panel that all their customers used. Then I redesigned the website. The business started to boom. We started hiring a lot of employees so I went from customer support and website designer to build HostGator’s employee training

    Hi @HostGator I am still in the chat and now for 23 minutes and not a single admin has come to see about my issue.

    @francojosephsd @HGSupport @HostGator Same, and they seem to think that the issue has been fully resolved. No communication to the customers, or among themselves.

    When looking to replace the dreadful @GoDaddy @GoDaddyHelp with a better company with better customer service, try out Bluehost SiteGround DreamHost HostGator HostPapa InMotion Hosting. You dont have to accept terrible customer service.

    @HostGator My server has been down for three weeks, and I still haven't received a response. They don't have any backups. I want to know if I should consider the data from my two accounts on the VPS lost.

  • kishorksukumar
    Kishor K Sukumar (@kishorksukumar) reported

    @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

  • MilkmanHero
    MilkmanHero (@MilkmanHero) reported

    Ah @HostGator broke all my websites, I know they're fire fighting to patch security which is fair enough and I've been patient hoping it'll resolve itself, it hasn't. Really grating is @HGSupport making up absolute nonsense and blaming all my sites being broken on "malware" 🙄🥱

  • 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??

  • DanMicovic
    Daniel Micovic (@DanMicovic) reported

    @HGsupport @HostGator now Google is taking down ads and organic ratings because the sties can't be reached. Thoughts? Compensation to regain rankings? Would love to hear any suggestions you may have as this disaster drags on.

    @HostGator for the past 4 months my website was offline for about 7 days, the Brazilian branch of Hostgator sadly it’s terrible, I'm just a few hours from completing 48 hours offline. Seems nobody cares, never had a server provider like this. It takes days to get the website on

    @HGSupport our email server is running incredibly slow. Do you have an ETA on the fix for this?

    @HGSupport I have a production server down for more than 24 hours and still no solution or clear update. Please provide news regarding the maintenance/work you said would be performed today on the affected CentOS servers related to the known cPanel issue reported by your team.
