Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • braxton_mccoy Braxton McCoy (@braxton_mccoy) reported

    Apparently the coronal mass ejection did happen but it only broke @HostGator customer service

  • iamMachias J.P. Wing (@iamMachias) reported

    Anyone have experience with @HostGator as a hosting company? I've heard good things but I welcome any input. I have several sites down due to a bad migration exercise @machighway, and they're no longer talking to customers, so I need to start on Plan B.

  • karanidan2 Karanidan Gadhvi (@karanidan2) reported

  • vetvinney Drake iqinsark (@vetvinney) reported

    @HostGator today I have been on the phone with @progressive, @USHEALTH_Group, and 3 other companies customer service. This time, like every other, your support was by far the worst, and that't after I had to pay an additional fee... #customerservice #badcustomerservice

  • DotWeekly JamiΞ Zoch (@DotWeekly) reported

    Thought: If NameCheap partnered with Newfold Digital (Web/NSI, Register, BuyDomains, SnapNames/NameJet, HostGator, BlueHost etc) and maybe ties in Tucows/eNom or another large registrar, a new powerhouse network (DLS) could be created & expired domain auction service. #shakeitup

    @HGSupport @HostGator Worse server support going

  • DavidKellyAD David Kelly (@DavidKellyAD) reported

    @HGSupport Already reached out, it was resolved for about 10 minutes and then went down again.

  • 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.

  • LifeTraveled LifeTravelStilettos (@LifeTraveled) reported

    @NomadicNeen I use Wordpress but host with @HostGator. So much better service (and less expensive than my previous hosting company which shall remain unnamed -- but isn't the one you mentioned.

  • onetoomanymusic one too many 👀 (@onetoomanymusic) reported

    @HGSupport @FeistyQuilter Exactly the same thing I faced and when I tried contacting support for almost two months and all I got was automated robot replies, and no answers I resulted to Multitask_Support on Instagram and they got everything to work in few mins

  • effekterfantasy Acácia (@effekterfantasy) reported

    @HGSupport @FeistyQuilter I have made multiple reports to the support team about my account being banned and nothing came out of it till i got to know about Multitask_Support on Instagram through a friend. I decided to give it a try and everything came out positive, I’m sure he’ll be of help to you

  • vish_12345 vishal porwal (@vish_12345) reported

    @HostGator I purchased three years of hosting from HostGator 1.5 years (Unlimited hosting) back from the ongoing offer on your site. But for the last one month, I have been facing a very horrible experience from your customer care.

    @TonyLimaPOL @HostGator @braxton_mccoy Handholding is exactly the problem. I should be able to change my own DNS

  • BillWatters12 Bill Watters (@BillWatters12) reported

    Hi, Is anyone with an account at Hostgator experiencing login issues. My website is down and it seems Hostgator is unavailable. Is this only a UK issue?

  • 92hyadav Himanshu Yadav (@92hyadav) reported

    @HostGator I bought a domain from hostgator 3 days ago and hostgator sold my data to web design companies. This is how you treat your customers. I am getting 10 calls a day. I would never recommend hostgator to anyone. Never again buying any service from you. Such unethical org.

  • ecartparts My Golf Cart Shop (@ecartparts) reported

    Sorry our website is down but, for the 4th year in a row @HostGator didn't update or add our (paid for) SSL for the site. We hope to have it up soon.

  • UriAbramov Uri Abramov (@UriAbramov) reported

    What the hell is wrong with this company @HostGator @HGSupport you can’t even pay the damn bill online even if you wanted to does anybody have the same problem as well? I’ve spoken to over 15 agents in this company and nobody can help

  • HGSupport HostGator Support (@HGSupport) reported

    @92hyadav @HostGator Hello! We don't sell your information, ever. ICANN, however, does require that domain registrant information be listed in the WhoIS directory. We do offer a privacy service that you can select within your customer portal. Send us a DM with your domain if you have questions - Mel

  • ngintx The Engine (@ngintx) reported

    @braxton_mccoy @HostGator Yeah, that can be a mess. DM if you need another set of eyes. Fixing broken tech **** is one of the few things I’m good at.
