    @DianePatterson @HostGator Same here email server down @HGSupport and the chat support isn’t working? What is going on?

  • fyrebear Chris A. White 🐻 (@fyrebear) reported

    @HGSupport I am having the same issue

  • SteveCinq Steven Cinquegrana (@SteveCinq) reported

    @HostGator This has NEVER happened before. Also, I can't correlate that cert with any other cert that I'm aware of. The others have different fingerprints, etc. What happened please? You need to provide some details. We can't be just clicking "Accept" on certificate errors!

  • NRombiola Nicolas Rombiola (@NRombiola) reported

    @HostGator the problem continues...

  • renoseoexpert Sandy Rowley (@renoseoexpert) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator I did finally get through to someone, but they did not help. They said the SSL was working, when it is not. They said try again in a few hours. I waited 12 hours and it is still not resolved. #hostgator

  • SteveCinq Steven Cinquegrana (@SteveCinq) reported

    @HGSupport No, you’re really not. You screwed our email and ftp access two DAYS ago and wasted my time in a twitter convo then some new idiot created a case and some other idiot will say, “So what seems to be the problem?”. Hopeless hopeless company.

  • renoseoexpert Sandy Rowley (@renoseoexpert) reported

    @skystracloud thanks so much. The SSL issue is server issue, not a user issue. :) #ssl #seo #hostgator

  • DavidJay1965 David Jay (@DavidJay1965) reported

    @HGSupport Please call me immediately at 661-478-4700. My email is broken!

  • neilfelias Neil Patrick Felias (@neilfelias) reported

    @HostGator Please fix this asap. Webmail is very important to my customers! 😔

  • renoseoexpert Sandy Rowley (@renoseoexpert) reported

    @HGSupport Support hold times are 90 minutes? Chat function is not working for a week now. How to get ahold of a human at #hostgator ?

  • JDuvillard JP Duvillard (@JDuvillard) reported

    @HostGator your shared host has been down for 9 hours, we have lost an entire day of business and still no explanation apart from "this is a planned migration". Not planned at all, we didn't even get notified

  • renoseoexpert Sandy Rowley (@renoseoexpert) reported

    @HostGator How can we get ahold of tech support? The phone system says 90 minutes, but keeps dropping our calls. The chat function for support never loads.

  • alfredhichcock Brian McCaul (@alfredhichcock) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport Add me to your list of people that saw your cert expire at 8:00 pm EST. External mail is down, and my cpanel portal is showing an SSL error in the browser.

  • SteveCinq Steven Cinquegrana (@SteveCinq) reported

    @HostGator Yep, ok, so nothing. I moved to Hostgator years ago when you were good. And you were. Now you're just garbage. Zero service, zero responsibility. Just ... zero. This is a serious failing on your behalf but you act as if it's nothing and leave your customers hanging.

  • NRombiola Nicolas Rombiola (@NRombiola) reported

    @hostgator No emails, no Cpanel, no Websites... 5 hs all down

  • ATVScoundrel ATV Scoundrel (@ATVScoundrel) reported

    @HostGator The "issue" is that the damn security certificate expired! It's beyond outrageous that #Hostgator would allow this to happen. How many businesses are currently paralyzed because of your gross incompetence?

  • AerisLee669 Samuel Lee (@AerisLee669) reported

    @HostGator Move your site. Save yourself the stress of thinking they’ll fix anything. Hostgator used to be very good. Now they just milk cash while they can.

  • HomobotsTales QueerFox Tales (aka Homobot's Tales) (@HomobotsTales) reported

    @HonestPassion13 Else for paid hosting: GoDaddy had amazing service when I used them. Worth the cost if you struggle with website tech. HostGator is cheaper but they're pulling crap on me now. I'm looking at Orange Hosting (?) now.

  • CynderHost CynderHost (@CynderHost) reported

    @ATVScoundrel @petehalvorsen @HostGator If reliability is what you’re after, our 99.9% uptime guarantee may suit you! We also offer 24/7 support and will even save you money. Our speeds are blazing fast and we’re backed by experts. I can migrate you over for free; can I flick you a DM with more info?

  • SteveCinq Steven Cinquegrana (@SteveCinq) reported

    @HostGator Ha! As if the problem is your phone carrier! It’s just that, as always, you want any excuse to avoid providing support to your (diminishing number of) customers. Host gator is a joke.

  • Barritz 𝔅𝔞𝔯𝔯𝔦𝔱𝔷 (@Barritz) reported

    @HostGator Just 2 weeks ago all your cloud servers were out so websites were down & now it’s all communications via email? The reliability of your services in 2022 has been subpar to say it kindly. This is unacceptable and I’d like to be contacted in regard to a service credit.

  • CynderHost CynderHost (@CynderHost) reported

    @emveedesign @HostGator Sorry to hear Michael! If you’re looking to switch providers we promise you won’t face these issues. Our experts guarantee 99.9% uptime without compromising security or service thanks to 24/7 support. We’re happy to migrate you over for free if you wish, can I DM more info?

    @MAJORFLAREMEDIA @HostGator Move your site. Save yourself the stress of thinking they’ll fix anything. Hostgator used to be very good. Now they just milk cash while they can.

  • BryanMBowden Bryan M. Bowden ஃ (@BryanMBowden) reported

    @HostGator it’s beyond pathetic that a hosting company allows their service certificates to expire and causes a tremendous amount of problems for the people that host through them.

  • tonihammer Toni Bracci (@tonihammer) reported

    @HostGator It’s happened again, such an unreliable service and I have no faith in my emails reaching their destination

  • weikfitness Matt Weik (@weikfitness) reported

    @CoachGiorgio @HostGator I’m having the same issue

  • NRombiola Nicolas Rombiola (@NRombiola) reported

    @HostGator 2 hours later... the problem continues

  • BuxMontNews Tom Sofield (@BuxMontNews) reported

    .@levittownnow's main site has been offline for more than 24 hours. Our hosting company, one of the largest, has suffered a major problem. So far, no updates from their tech team. No answers at their call centers or live chat. Disturbing to say the least. @HostGator @HGSupport

  • SteveCinq Steven Cinquegrana (@SteveCinq) reported

    @MAJORFLAREMEDIA @HostGator Btw they just want you to dm to take your problem out of public view. I fell for it.
