Hostgator Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • bosshawaii Dani Tow (@bosshawaii) reported

    How long does it take for you to unsuspend an account after the security issues have been addressed?! Multiple emails and no response, and a call. I was told 2 days it’s been over a week. @HGSupport

  • MarshallCAJ3107 Chris Marshall (@MarshallCAJ3107) reported

    @HGSupport I have tried SIX times to resolve an issue via your chat and each time it locks up. Any chance we can get this sorted.

  • iamsouravj sourav (@iamsouravj) reported

    @hostgatorindia @HGSupport @HostGator worst services! You cannot rely on them if you want to have your website running! Total lack of commitment and professionalism. #poorcustomerservice my issue not resolved since a month!

  • GlewmeCorp Glewme Corp (@GlewmeCorp) reported

    @HostGator How on earth does a company as horribly ****** as yours still exist. That is amazing, you deserve a trophy for that. I think I'm more afraid of your rickety system and poor support than Friday the 13th but nice try blaming something else. Seems to be your MO

  • Steven84476735 Steven (@Steven84476735) reported

    @TheAnomaly @HostGator same here, I can login now, but the website is still very unstable

  • iamMrSibusiso Sibusiso Mahlabane (@iamMrSibusiso) reported

    @HostGator I am very disappointed on your service. Ever since I migrated to Dedicated there are issues daily and the first line support is lying just to finish a call. I am very frustrated and disappointed

  • garedat garedat (@garedat) reported

    @HostGator is down?

  • DragoonAzteca Fernanda G.P.🪐 (@DragoonAzteca) reported

    @HGSupport i try to cancel and you guys charge me ):

  • iamsouravj sourav (@iamsouravj) reported

    One of the worst #hosting support ever @HostGator @HGSupport @hostgatorindia they commit 99.99 percent uptime and they are not even close to the commitment., no support at all! #customerservice

  • DavidaPride David Pride (@DavidaPride) reported

    Again @HostGator fixes my website/hosting issues quickly & w/logical solutions. They uncovered some security stuff I had done wrong. I’ve been a customer for almost 10 years & they’ve always been great to work with & prompt. Thx #Hostgator. #NotaPaidAdJustaHappyCustomer

  • sunilgupta7682 Sunil Gupta (@sunilgupta7682) reported

    @HGSupport @Saurabh09056811 stii we r facing speed issue, i m surprised that after upgrading to vps from shared server, the situation gone worse, how will you people be able to handle when the traffic n users wd be in high in nos. ? I m highly disappointed with quality of your service.

  • opmstreams WWW.OPMSTREAMS.LIVE (@opmstreams) reported

    @HGSupport MY SERVER HAS BEEN TURNED OFF FOR FAILURE TO TO PAY....ARE YOU PEOPLE SERIOUS ? HSTGATOR PROVIDES ME WITH SERVICE THAT TOTALLY SUCKS...I HAD TO CALL 211 TIMES AND EMAIL YOU MANY TIMES OVER THE LAST 6 WEEKS. NOW HOSTGATOR WANTS MONEY FOR THE TERRIBLE SERVICE

  • HeyAprill Aprill 💕 (@HeyAprill) reported

    @HGSupport I need some help. I tried to use live chat but it will not load.

  • GlewmeCorp Glewme Corp (@GlewmeCorp) reported

    @HGSupport @SheilaCreates This company has had me on a repeat problem the entire time I've been with them do yourself a favor and get out while you can

  • BylKode 𝑰𝒇𝒍𝒊𝒔🏴‍☠️ⵣ (@BylKode) reported

    @HostGator Do you guys support decentralized domains like @HNS ?

  • udittrivedi89 Udit Trivedi (@udittrivedi89) reported

    Worst server management team #hostgator Do not ever buy hosting from @hostgatorindia You are serving damn internet industry and unable to solve a serious #SSH issue permanently? Pathetic! @HostGator @HGSupport

  • 08asKrishna Keval (@08asKrishna) reported

    @Hostinger Your service is probably one of the worsts out there after hostgator. Im having problems with my blog regarding the upload host limit.

  • vickytnz Vicky Teinaki (@vickytnz) reported

    @steveparks I'm considering it, but it means that I'll have 3 months before my $180 hostgator hosting is up for renewal to shut all of my old side project sites down as can't justify both

  • kevquirk Kev Quirk (@kevquirk) reported

    Not sure how I feel about the Yoast acquisition. Companies like Bluehost & Hostgator are widely regarded as **** in the world of hosting. Mainly because of their horrendous performance and shady upselling. I’m sad to see Yoast now in that same bucket.

  • TaffyJeng Tafadzwa Jengwa 🇿🇼 (@TaffyJeng) reported

    @HostGator The portal and emails are down, please take note and rectify

  • HoltTrains Holt Computer Training (@HoltTrains) reported

    @HGSupport It’s billing. My domains expires today and they shut down my sites even though I have automatic billing. It’s okay. I’m done, as well as the sites I manage. This is too many problems

  • sunilgupta7682 Sunil Gupta (@sunilgupta7682) reported

    @HGSupport We had migrated to your VPS server from a shared one as per your advice last friday. During this period we are in regular touch with your customer support team for resolution of no. of issues but I am sorry to say that the team is of no use at all.

  • iamsouravj sourav (@iamsouravj) reported

    @hostgatorindia @HostGator @HGSupport Multiple tickets have been created and we have spoken to support staff but no result! Disappointing

  • stressfreehost Stress Free Host (@stressfreehost) reported

    @shaunoconnor1 @HGSupport A timeout would either mean the db is overloaded (pretty sure it'll say something about max connects) or unreachable which is just down.

  • RhudeBoyT Mokondi Wa Erabanja ⚜️ 🇨🇲 🇳🇬 (@RhudeBoyT) reported

    @ADanielHill @Tweetinggoddess @HostGator But I'll have to try earlier tomorrow morning because I have network issues now.

  • shaunoconnor1 Shaun O Connor (@shaunoconnor1) reported

    @HGSupport Yep, have done all that Tia. Again, the problem appears and resolves itself without my changing anything in WP which would strongly indicate that it's a server-side Hostgator resources issue 💁

  • iamsouravj sourav (@iamsouravj) reported

    @hostgatorindia The only focus seems to be on marketing! No support for existing customers! It’s like a trap! @HostGator @HGSupport

  • HoltTrains Holt Computer Training (@HoltTrains) reported

    @HGSupport I am filing a report with the FTC, better business bureau, trust pilot And anyone else that will listen this is ridiculous. My domains expire today, I have automatic payment. Instead of taking charging my automatic payment, they shut my site down the day it says payment due

  • shaunoconnor1 Shaun O Connor (@shaunoconnor1) reported

    @stressfreehost @HGSupport And that would show if it's a Hostgator db server resource issue, correct?

  • owolabithebest 👷 Builder Owolabi M.O.N🌍 (@owolabithebest) reported

    I need web developers opinion on this useless @whogohost. Their sever is just slow 🐌 compared to Hostgator.. It also has a lot of downtime They need to do more. 😫
