    @HostGator have you forgotten me finally? What's going on Guy, this email issues are affecting my business. Please health care is not a joke

  • tazmahan Panos (@tazmahan) reported

    @HGSupport any news about the latest email deliverability issue? Some mails are delivered after hours, others do not, without any message. All clients are ranting and we don't know what to tell them... Once again we provide terrible service without being our fault. 😔

  • olopeza Oliver (@olopeza) reported

    @HostGator Again email service is down @hostgator

    @HostGator Down again?

  • gemmalouise_may Gemma Louise May (@gemmalouise_may) reported

    @HGSupport I've been trying your live chat support for weeks, multiple conversations and had absolutely no help what-so-ever.

  • waltinhobr WalTRInho- Libertadores eu sou Tri (@waltinhobr) reported

    @shoaibhussain @HGSupport For me it´s not a problem. I´m brazilian

  • gemmalouise_may Gemma Louise May (@gemmalouise_may) reported

    @HGSupport is there an email I can use to contact support? Your chat service is terrible.

  • iam_donolaf Olaf (@iam_donolaf) reported

    @HostGator Because I have been having issues logging to the backend and sometimes get redirected to another site

  • nsyncfiction It’s Gonna Be May (@nsyncfiction) reported

    Is anyone seeing popups on the archive or is it something on my machine? I saw that hostgator was having some server issues so I checked the site. I was able to stop them with a popup blocker but I don't want anything malicous installed on our site.

  • Kingofcarrental King of Car Rentals (@Kingofcarrental) reported

    @HostGator I’ve been a customer for over a decade and am ready to pull the plug.This is the second multi day outrage in the last few months and I’m sick and tired of money my business continues to loose because my communication is cut wirh my clients is severed because of your incompetence

  • tomtolkien Tom Tolkien (@tomtolkien) reported

    @HostGator We moved all our sites to other hosts after your chat support repeatedly denied there were any problems. I hope your company learns from this.

  • shoaibhussain Shoaib Hussain (@shoaibhussain) reported

    @HGSupport Any way of giving an ETA? Last week websites were down and now emails not getting getting delivered on time since yesterday!

  • hither2forlorn Bob (@hither2forlorn) reported

    @twelchsysad @HostGator Worst service, after 12 years with the company now I am ready to move on. My reseller account has about 60% uptime at the best for the past 1 month.

  • iam_donolaf Olaf (@iam_donolaf) reported

    @HostGator Having this issue

  • RogerMorales305 Roger Morales (@RogerMorales305) reported

    @HostGator worse than our website & emails being down for 3 days is having to talk to ur customer service ppl in another country who can't fix anything & are obviously reading a script down 3 days called again this am to hear a wait time of 99 mins means you're not calling back.

  • shaunoconnor1 Shaun O Connor (@shaunoconnor1) reported

    @Beruud @HGSupport @HostGator That's crazy 🫤 Seemed like Hostgator had a massive outage last night aswell. HG websites and email down across the board. Things are hopefully back to normal now, I just sent a test email and it arrived immediately.

  • shoaibhussain Shoaib Hussain (@shoaibhussain) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator still not resolved. Will it be soon or will it take days like the data center migration which you had last week ? websites were down for most of last week!

  • hither2forlorn Bob (@hither2forlorn) reported

    what is an alternative to @HostGator ? @HGSupport sucks big time now. Been with them for over 10 years, now its time to move on.

  • nick_knezevich nick knezevich (@nick_knezevich) reported

    @HostGator I’m so upset with the quality of your service. Such a simple request I need and I can’t even get you on the phone. It’s been 2 days that I’ve been trying. The Chat online you recommended when I called doesn’t respond. When I call it’s crazy hold times or you hang up.

  • fkgibbs fkgibbs (@fkgibbs) reported

    The support tech at @HGSupport @HostGator promised to send me an email with the link to a forum where I can track their progress on fixing the email problem. That was 2 hours ago. It just occurred to me, he can’t send an email either. This is nuts.

  • mohamedemam95 Emam (@mohamedemam95) reported

    @waltinhobr @HostGator I had the same issue and i've already lost customers. I took the decision to move to another server whatever it cost and was the best decision and not gonna wait even for there live chat that do not connect to any agent Now i'm using a faster server

  • waltinhobr WalTRInho- Libertadores eu sou Tri (@waltinhobr) reported

    @HostGator My clients are complaining since Friday! Fix it!!!! I want to know if there will be any discount on the billing for this reason.

  • VitorRosas Vitor Mastrangelo Rosas (@VitorRosas) reported

    @HostGator @HostGator any news? Services are still down...

  • __stardst Mei ✨ (@__stardst) reported

    @HostGator Hey! Our SMTP service does not work since last friday. Are you going to fix it?

  • spiritoftwi 🕉SpiritOfTwilight☯️ (@spiritoftwi) reported

    Guess what I'm doing right now? Chatting with @HostGator again for the fifth time in a week / third time within 24 hours. What a ****-show.

  • tabrisius Tabrisius (@tabrisius) reported

  • ImEdward83 Edward Johnson (@ImEdward83) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport @hostgatorindia Hello, Brand Ambesaddor of worst hosting of world. Any update for the solution???
