Hostgator Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • BevRoze Beverly (@BevRoze) reported

    @HGSupport Why won't you bring back ticket support? Takes FOREVER to get issues resolved now dealing with call-in or chat support.

  • themarkdrake Mark Drake (@themarkdrake) reported

    @HGSupport Hey Team at HostGator, much appreciated. I learned something else. We transferred a domain name from our previous registrar to you. During that transfer, the DNSSEC keys were left in place. Causing all manner of problems throughout the internet. This was the root cause.

  • Nesphalim 🐰 🦄 Kimberly 🦄 🐰 (@Nesphalim) reported

    @mypenplease @HGSupport Agreed, it's terrible. They are mostly all incompetent and ask really weird questions.

  • long Jonathan Long (@long) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport Need help ASAP!! Server gone!

  • Antonio__Holman Antonio ♋ (@Antonio__Holman) reported

    @HGSupport ur support has been EXTREMELY poor over the last 3 months or so w/ support call non-native English language techs, massive lack of technical knowledge, disconnected support calls, & outright lying to me (user for many yrs) per post support tech. Subpar supervisors too.

    Last week, I worked with #firebase authentication to log the WordPress user in when a firebase login occurs. It was working fine on the local machine, but it’s giving a cross-origin access control error while using it on #HostGator 😨. I am trying to figure out the solution.

  • davemillar David Millar - @dave@puz.fun (@davemillar) reported

    Tonight's episode of @HGSupport hell is so bad it's got me considering moving to a new host.

  • krsaurabhmca Saurabh Nagbanshi (@krsaurabhmca) reported

    @HostGator Service is so poor services all executive are incompetent and giving proper solution and reply.

  • LeelaNivedaM Leela Niveda Mahesh (@LeelaNivedaM) reported

    @HostGator I got a domain name from @HostGator last year. But didn't get a host. Because I don't have a system to launch a hosting. As your support says, it is difficult to do it with mobile. So I postponed buying hosting for that domain. I wasted my money. Still don't know how to host.

    @hostgatorindia I am very sad with hostgator because this hosting provider is very useless, they do not have any security, our hosting is constantly being hacked but no one is helping My Customer Id: 20527265

  • TimmyMcdugald timmy mcdugald (@TimmyMcdugald) reported

    @HostGator Hard to say. I suffer memory problems.

  • BevRoze Beverly (@BevRoze) reported

    @HGSupport I just gave you details. Please let me and other frustrated customers know, here, if you're going to fix / replace this chat system. You used to have knowledgeable perfect-English-speaking answering the phones - now you get routed to who knows where and get subpar support!

  • iamkadir Kadir (@iamkadir) reported

    @daveyheuser Yeah I've had people just blatantly rip-off my website (with comments in code) on Hostgator. You have to go through a dmca claim and ****. Not worth your time trust me.

  • ThisIs4thiMpact 4th iMpact Media Group (@ThisIs4thiMpact) reported

    @HostGator having trouble building this website... can’t seem to get GlanceGuest to work. Need assistance connecting domain. Help?

  • Nesphalim 🐰 🦄 Kimberly 🦄 🐰 (@Nesphalim) reported

    @DigitalDonz @HostGator They used to be the best but since moving the tech support off shore the level of service has dramatically gone down hill. Avoid them if you can.

  • rye_how Rye Howard (@rye_how) reported

    hi @HGSupport @HostGator how do I get escalated support? the AI on the chat just recommends webpages and asks me questions I have already answered :-<

  • BevRoze Beverly (@BevRoze) reported

    @HGSupport What? This is not regarding any specific domain name. I'm talking about your chat & phone support system and your lack of a ticket support system like most hosting companies.

  • _dedeluxe_ d€`d€luxe☆(阿卡devamars) (@_dedeluxe_) reported

    I will take down the two promotional sites I made for Tik Tok if they want to f****** talk s*** about my promotional page that has one little f****** icon of theirs I will f****** delete all of the accounts today f*** you guys and f*** HostGator

    @HostGator Is Hostgator server down now ? hosted websites are not working also unable to access cPanel.

  • kc3kgq KayHancock (@kc3kgq) reported

    Big shout-out to @HostGator for having by far the worst support staff I have ever spoken to!

  • solveintime Solve in Time!® (@solveintime) reported

    Website is temporarily down, but @HostGator is on it! Sorry for the inconvenience.

  • BevRoze Beverly (@BevRoze) reported

    @HostGator Will you ever fix your terrible chat support? (1) No DINGS to let you know an agent replies. You have to stare at the screen & wait for response or get kicked out when the agent responds and you don't know. (2) Frequently get disconnected / agent disappears! Come on!

  • BOOMBound 💥BOOM Bound (@BOOMBound) reported

    I'm working with firebase authentication to log the WordPress user in when firebase login occurs, which was working fine on the local machine, but it's giving a cross-origin access control error while using it on HostGator 😔. Trying to figure out the solution.

  • 9to5Not Tracy Allen🦀 (@9to5Not) reported

    @HGSupport Hey there! Nope… I always call from the main # specifically so that you guys can recognize me. I just got off of the phone with a rep but if there’s some way that we can correct that issue so that I’m no longer asked to say/spell my email address, I would love that! Thanks

  • labulgariefr Andrian Mihailov (@labulgariefr) reported

    @themarkdrake @HostGator Yes, I had once a customer who had only a IPV6 connection through its Internet service provider and I have configured the website whitout IPV6 support - the client was unable to see anything. Dead end.
