@HGSupport This is a cry for help. Since 7 days ago 2 Websites hosted on HG have been having outages for 20+ min on average. I already reported this many times to HG Support staff case id INC1132927. The say it will be fixed but still happens.
CJ Cornell (@cjcornell) reported 4 minutes ago
Does anyone have any web hosting recommendations so I can get away from @hostgator and the awful @HGSupport ?? Happy to pay a premium to hopefully take lots of other unhappy customers with me.
TBC🏄‍♂️❎ (@tennisballchips) reported 7 minutes ago
@HostGator @WordPress Now it's created a whole new set of problems. At first, it kept directing me to some weird temporary domain. Then I logged in and updated the settings and now it's a 403 error page. Hours of my time is going down the drain for no reason.
HostGator Support (@HGSupport) reported 12 minutes ago
@seanrogers8 @HostGator No need to worry, this is not a hack. DNS tools can show SPF/DKIM/DMARC records more than once when zones or hostnames overlap or if the browser has some caching issues. If you reach out to support, we can review your DNS directly and make sure everything is set correctly.
CENSORED BY T!!TTER (@PeterVadala) reported 13 minutes ago
@hostgator, #FallMusical.com is down again
Stan Vee (@Stan_VeeS) reported 13 minutes ago
@FakeUncleNemo @zrkann I got out of @HostGator about 10 yrs ago. They sabotaged one of my servers and asked $250 for "emergency upgrade". Funny enough, the support engineer who I was on the phone with, fixed it without it but had to switch it off again so they could keep the scam going 🤡
HostGator Support (@HGSupport) reported 16 minutes ago
@FeoAmante @HostGator Hey, Feo. We'd like to look further into this and get your site back online. Please send us a DM with any open (or closed) ticket IDs related to this issue, and we'd be happy to assist you from there.
Cutearundhathi (@cutearundhathi) reported 19 minutes ago
@HGSupport @adamfarrar Thank you for your reply. I have already shared my domain. Please try to understand that I have posted Important articles on it which I have written. I want my data to be retrieved and continue with your service. Yours faithfully... Arundhathi
Amy Lathrop (@amyalathrop) reported 20 minutes ago
.@HostGator problems with outgoing email for me. I cannot get support from chat or phone "help." Is this going to be resolved soon?
Shawn Brown (@shawnbb13827) reported 21 minutes ago
@HostGator has been the worst hosting provider I’ve ever dealt with. They take your money, set up an account, and then suddenly cancel it without giving any explanation. Their customer service is almost impossible to understand and the entire experience has been nothing but awful
Austin Ross 🇺🇸 (@A_Ross) reported 21 minutes ago
@HGSupport do none of your support reps have access to WHM on shared accounts? I've been on the phone with a tech support for an hour. She's completely out of her league. The fix would have taken her 30 seconds on WHM to open phpmyadmin and change the definers of a function
Anne Ryan (@RyanAssocs) reported 22 minutes ago
@hgsupport Help. Every time I try to have support upload new wordpress site while backing up old html site, the new site continues to refer to the subdomain I created it in. Good grief...no one in support knows what to do.
Mgsilva (@Mgsilva70727329) reported 23 minutes ago
@HostGator @HostGatorBrasil The customer service in Brazil is horrible and someone solve nothing!
Joan Reynolds (@JoanTReynolds) reported 26 minutes ago
@HostGator I cannot login to my hostgator account. Support is now useless.
coltswalker (@coltswalker) reported 28 minutes ago
HostGator and Network Solutions, both owned by Newfold Digital, are guilty of hostile censorship. Users report struggling to regain access to their sites after wrongful suspensions, with slow, unhelpful customer support failing to provide clear reasons for the lockout.
Eduardo Morales (@chikipollo08) reported 28 minutes ago
@HostGator I submitted a support ticket regarding my hosting; my emails are not reaching their destination. I've had the ticket open for 3 days and no one has followed up on it.
Mrchispa (@Mrchispa8) reported 32 minutes ago
@HostGator my websites are down? Could you help me?
Shamail Aijaz (@shamailaijaz) reported 33 minutes ago
@HGSupport I've already given you my ticket number in my yesterday's tweet S-2195876... It has been 6 days now... Your customer support is completely dead, including toll free number and chat.
Oscar Múgica ن (@oscarmugica389) reported 34 minutes ago
@HGSupport Is down right now says: It is not just you. The server is not responding...
Mayank Kothari (@MayankKothari09) reported 37 minutes ago
@BigRock @hostgatorindia X HostGator → BigRock migration. Same email on both platforms = migration failed. Domains moved there, hosting stayed here. Now they want me to hand over hosting directly to clients. Not acceptable. Indian businesses deserve better service standards.
PixelsTech (@PixelstechNet) reported 37 minutes ago
It seems our service provider @HostGator has some issue and our site is not able to access atm. Sorry for the inconvenience. Will try to get it back online soon. Thank you for your patience.
Vasudevan M.R. (@VasudevanMR) reported 38 minutes ago
@hostgatorindia @HGSupport My emails have been blocked apparently because my IP address has been flagged. But I use a dynamic IP allotted by my ISP @airtelindia . I have no control over the IP. There is no way for me to resolve the issue. Absolutely pathetic.
Bloom (@Jwrbloom) reported 41 minutes ago
@HGSupport One of your tech support people had me flush my DNS. It solved the initial problem, but created two others. One, I can't connect my text editor to the server, and it won't let me get to your website portal either. I'm getting an Edge IP Address notification.
Kudehinbu Oluwaponle (@koluwaponle) reported 43 minutes ago
@HostGator @HGSupport I requested using the money to cover cost of my existing snappy VPS, your support refused. They insisted on refunds, they tried refunding to my naira card, it failed and I told them to refund to my dollar card, they promised to do so but never did
Makarand Mane | Organising #WCAsia 2026 (@mkrndmane) reported 47 minutes ago
Dear @HostGator I am using your reseller hosting for more than 9 year & your @HGSupport quality is now gone down to dumb level. Seating for 2 hours on chat & no resolution yet. Your novice agent is not able to understand issue even after 2 hours. @NewfoldDigital
Mrchispa (@Mrchispa8) reported 48 minutes ago
@HostGator Website down for almost 6 hours....
Brandon🇺🇦 (@bc3tech) reported 54 minutes ago
@HGSupport @mulls2go appears local mailboxes are ok, but forwarders to external boxes are broken.
Bloom (@Jwrbloom) reported 55 minutes ago
@HGSupport And I'm not able to login into my cPanel with my saved user credentials.
Tyler (@tb6___) reported 56 minutes ago
I didn’t think it was possible but HostGator made their ****** website even worse If anyone reading this ends up needing web hosting use literally any other service
HostGator Support (@HGSupport) reported 56 minutes ago
@academicoweb @HostGator We hear you that you are having trouble with the auth code and have concerns about the price and specs of your hosting plan. Repeatedly mentioning us in posts and replies keeps us going through notifications instead of being able to help you. Hence, "spam." Our DMs are open.
