    @HGSupport If there is an major outage right now, please post it to your Twitter. I have multiple VPS/Dedicated accounts I cannot reach, many users out of service and so far have been unable to reach support.

  • gurupak Irfan Ahmed (@gurupak) reported

    @MLino @HostGator @HGSupport Nothing is opening at their end now. Someone call them and check the issue?

  • MrMiller23 Mr. M (@MrMiller23) reported

    Fingers crossed. After multiple calls/chats with @HostGator support, I *think* I found the person who can help. I need to work a few things out but I finally found someone who understands my questions. I think.

  • PokerDe4s Porra (@PokerDe4s) reported

    @HGSupport We kwow that, hostgator say this a lot of times on tickets but the service still offline. Hostgator notice us the service will be out for one or two hours but now 40 hs offline, unbelive.

  • AbduljalilSaleh Abduljalil AlMudhari عبدالجليل المضري (@AbduljalilSaleh) reported

    @da_real_sammann @HostGator @HGSupport Same problem with me, I have VPS SERVER and now down, I have more than 400 customers calling, Hostgator bad company

  • radiobrezice Maks (@radiobrezice) reported

    @HGSupport @tokyomokyo Hostgator literally isn’t aware of this huge issue???? 3 minutes ago you typed to DM primary domains? This is outrageous!

  • splatteredink Darryl T. Jones (@splatteredink) reported

    @HGSupport It's not a recommendation. It's a requirement if you want to keep me as a customer.

  • AbduljalilSaleh Abduljalil AlMudhari عبدالجليل المضري (@AbduljalilSaleh) reported

    @HGSupport my server down, customers waiting, what is the issue?

  • oxign Steve (@oxign) reported

    @PokerDe4s @HostGator @HGSupport It’s beyond ridiculous buddy. I actually spoke to a senior support person and he said he honestly could not give me a time for when this migration will be completed.

  • splatteredink Darryl T. Jones (@splatteredink) reported

    @oxign @HostGator And I've been with hostgator for like 10 years. They've never done this _smoke & mirrors_ avoid the question customer service before. Transparency is key man. If there's a problem, tell me and we'll deal with it. But right now, I can only assume @HostGator is hiding something.

  • oxign Steve (@oxign) reported

    @PokerDe4s @HostGator @HGSupport 48 hours for us! In a few hours my clients will have hundreds of employees expecting to access their email. And all we get from Hostgator is “it will be up in 1-2 hours. In 40 years of using different ISP’s I have never encountered anything as irresponsible or inept as this.

  • AA_MediaStudios AA Media Studios (@AA_MediaStudios) reported

    @HostGator issues. Seems portal is down and some website

  • oxign Steve (@oxign) reported

    @splatteredink @HostGator “However, if there was a severe issue, this is something we would have provided immediately” Hostgator, and customer servers being down 48 hours is not severe? Unbelievable!!!

  • gurupak Irfan Ahmed (@gurupak) reported

    @St3llard @HostGator @HGSupport Everything is down on HG. They were fixing portal and checkout and now they have down their whole network.

  • Zen62com Zennie Abraham CEO ZENNIE62MEDIA INC (@Zen62com) reported

    @gurupak @HGSupport @HostGator None of my sites are operating. Can't open CPanel. And HostGator is pretending like there's no problem. THERE'S A BIG PROBLEM!

  • gurupak Irfan Ahmed (@gurupak) reported

    @HGSupport #domainmonitoring #domainDown #hostingdown What are you doing to fix the servers issue?

  • InterconMessage Intercon Messaging (@InterconMessage) reported

    @HGSupport we can access our cpanel and whm but are unable to send emails. Is this related to the issues you are having?

  • TechLifeWeb Scott Kingery (@TechLifeWeb) reported

    @HGSupport is FTP down? I can authenticate but then the session doesn't start.

  • St3llard Stellar (@St3llard) reported

    @gurupak @HGSupport @HostGator Same, one of dedicated servers is down

  • hannahboog Hannah Carmichael (@hannahboog) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport trying to cancel my domain renewal but non of your advisors are helping me! Shocking service

  • gogogadgetguy GoGoGadgetGuy (@gogogadgetguy) reported

    @darkcompass @WordPress Who do you host with now ? I’ve had the same issue with @HostGator

  • sadcryptoguy Horny Crypto Guy (@sadcryptoguy) reported

    HostGator is completely down right now.. How does a hosting company go down? bruh.

  • AntonyGratan ˗ˏˋ TONY ˊˎ˗ (@AntonyGratan) reported

    @HGSupport my website is down and I can’t access to the customer portal

  • FocusedCreative Focused Creative (@FocusedCreative) reported

    Hey @HostGator: we understand that sometimes tech goes wonky. A "Holy Crap! We're on it !!" is a much better response than "everything is fine". Let us know that you're on our side. #CustomerService

  • splatteredink Darryl T. Jones (@splatteredink) reported

    @HGSupport Why haven't you updated the forum post? I've been told I can get "real time" updates there... right now it feels like you're hiding the problem. That is only making it worse. My partner has already contacted another hosting company to move to.

  • oxign Steve (@oxign) reported

    @networkcompare @HGSupport @HostGator Is your VPS up yet? Ours has been down over 24 hours!

  • fwindexer Fast WORK Indexer (@fwindexer) reported
