Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • DustinFinn Dustin Finn (WarDriving-BusySignal) (@DustinFinn) reported

    @HGSupport you can use this - 44833060 - this entire "down" time is odd to me.

  • CEOConsultants LOUIS (@CEOConsultants) reported

    @HGSupport 2 weeks for an entire server to be down is not "incovinience". It is incompetence. #Hostgator #hostgatorsupport @HostGator

  • jafarhajeer Jafar Hajeer (@jafarhajeer) reported

    Is @HostGator down again? Not only their services but also we cannot log in to Hostgator's panel itself.

  • Stevemartin1974 Stephen Martin (@Stevemartin1974) reported

    @HostGator Faster responses from tech support would help protect your customers for sure.

  • turqnet Graham Talbot (@turqnet) reported

    @isobel_b @writerlane @HostGator This issue continues for my clients. What will it take to get this finally fixed? It is an embarrassment and I will potentially lose my biggest client if this isn't resolved asap.

  • CEOConsultants LOUIS (@CEOConsultants) reported

    @HGSupport You didn't answer the question, though: what industry benchmark or common practice makes a web server being down for two weeks, OK ? Don't you think your current customers and potential future customers DESERVE to know? @HostGator @HGSupport #hostgator #hosting #Servers

  • DustinFinn Dustin Finn (WarDriving-BusySignal) (@DustinFinn) reported

    first world problems- I get it - but gosh - come back in 2 hours to see if its been fixed? Yikes. #Fail #HostGator @HostGator

  • LeeKHempfling Lee Kent Hempfling (@LeeKHempfling) reported

    @HGSupport hey guys... what's up. support chat is down, FTP will not list contents of a working domain.. what's up?!?!

  • Alder_Smoke ⚡️Critter - Recovering⚡️ (@Alder_Smoke) reported

    @TehZee Hostgator. They used to be a lot cheaper, I dunno what ******** happened.

  • AttorneyDiaz Dario D. Diaz (@AttorneyDiaz) reported

    @hgsupport Who's bag do I have to butter to get my outgoing email working? 4 weeks and 10 support sessions and my outgoing email is a dice roll. Maybe it shows up, maybe it doesn't. email roulette must be a thing @HostGator

  • rich_debusk Rich DeBusk (@rich_debusk) reported

    @HGSupport what are you doing to fix the Weebly problem so that I can update? Is it time to leave HG?

  • manuelaisazai MI (@manuelaisazai) reported

    @H0rnsby_ @HostGator We have the same problem!, no solution yet; we have lost sales and customers

  • Stevemartin1974 Stephen Martin (@Stevemartin1974) reported

    @HGSupport Chat tells me to wait 24 hours before the admins will respond to my issue.

  • Stevemartin1974 Stephen Martin (@Stevemartin1974) reported

    @HostGator For the record.. site was suspended over 16 hours ago and still waiting for your "crack" support team to respond to emails. #BadService

  • dmv_tradesmen Joseph Martinelli (@dmv_tradesmen) reported

    @elemntor host gator support @HGSupport has removed your plugin from my Wordpress site because it was causing an Error 500, have you received any other reports from anywhere else?

  • H0rnsby_ h0rnsby (@H0rnsby_) reported

    @HostGator Our entire server has been down for over a day. No help from support, they just keep saying they'll email us when it's fixed. No explanation. We do a lot of business with you and recommend you to clients. Definitely will be switching.

  • CEOConsultants LOUIS (@CEOConsultants) reported

    @GWR I think there is a new #WorldRecord. @HostGator / @HGSupport have managed to NOT "fix a server." YES for almost 2 weeks now. #NewReocrd #Hosting

  • abpcontent Sidd (@abpcontent) reported

    @shwnhll @JepsenThomas @kinsta is yet to disappoint me in 4 years. I have worked with Bluehost, Hostgator, Dreamhost, Hostinger, KH, WPEngine, SiteGround, Rocket, and probably some more that I can't recall right now. I think they compete for the top 3 positions in customer support IMHO.

  • LeeKHempfling Lee Kent Hempfling (@LeeKHempfling) reported

    @HGSupport cache does not save in my browsers.. just tried support nothing i said showed up except the first question which was repeated about 8 times. they asked for a PIN, godaddy perhaps but you were never that **** retentive. got no answer no help and no care what happened to hostgator?

  • yunhomatata_ give them the cubes 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@yunhomatata_) reported

    Hostgator, worst customer service in existence

  • VolkanErsan Volkan Ersan (@VolkanErsan) reported

    @Stefani19834478 I've been with them for over a decade. Honestly, their chat support is pretty up to par except for this on-and-off Chrome issue. Especially compared to GoDaddy's disastrous customer service #hostgator #godaddy

  • DustinFinn Dustin Finn (WarDriving-BusySignal) (@DustinFinn) reported

    @HGSupport support rep hasnt provided one......

  • DrPhreakman Dr Phreakman (@DrPhreakman) reported

    @HGSupport Why are you holding my domain hostage? I requested a transfer Nov 6th, was told it would happen Nov 11, new registrar is awaiting HostGator’s final approval and no one will help me. Chatting in, called in, both told me that the timeframe is not 5 days but 7!

  • CEOConsultants LOUIS (@CEOConsultants) reported

    @HGSupport Your support team says they don't have an ETA !!!!! It could be days .... THAT is NOT OK. An entire server can't be down for 2 weeks OR longer. @HGSupport @HostGator

  • srihari147 Hari (@srihari147) reported

    @HostGator wrost experience,Customer service is too slow they are not resolving my problem since 4 days .

  • SeamanPandita Pandita (@SeamanPandita) reported

    @HGSupport Your chat support no longer works - loads for infinity with no end in sight. Is this the only support contact? If so I need to talk to someone about security issues and vulnerabilities.

  • mervesayin_ Merve Sayın (@mervesayin_) reported

    @HGSupport My website doesn't work and I lost so many customers. Because of SSL Certificate. Even though I paid SSL Hostgator is responsible for this situation. Even though I asked for the support they did nothing because I don't give them a security pin!

  • gaurav_raos Gaurav Suresh Rao (@gaurav_raos) reported

    @HostGator Why are your sites so slow?

  • srihari147 Hari (@srihari147) reported

    @HostGator I’m trying to reach through call .The customer service number are not working now .please let me know do really care about customer.

  • mervesayin_ Merve Sayın (@mervesayin_) reported

    @HGSupport Customer support is terrible. I wish I'd known this before deciding on my host!! @HostGator @HGSupport
