  • perolahammar PerOla Hammar 陈家悦 (@perolahammar) reported

    @HGSupport Yes. That way worked. I have been online with the chat support for about 45 minutes now. Thanks.

  • AshishMhatre21 Ashish Mhatre (@AshishMhatre21) reported

    Don't buy @HostGator their service is horrendous. #hostgator #ThirdClassHosting

  • kalinschmoldt Kalin Schmoldt (@kalinschmoldt) reported

    @HGSupport It's been OVER 2 days. It was supposed to take up to 2 hours overnight. The lack of communication is what bothers me. Support says no one is allowed to talk to the VPS admins, so they have no updates.

  • happycraig Craig (@happycraig) reported

    @HGSupport Thanks I'll do that. My VPS account has currently been down over 24 hours. It was down 12 hours last Saturday and down another four times before that. No help from tech support. Considering #HostGator for their website? Go elsewhere. They don't care about you.

  • perolahammar PerOla Hammar 陈家悦 (@perolahammar) reported

    Third time trying to contact @HostGator support thru their chat today. Disconnected again and again after I have explained what issues I am having. I have used their VPS for many years without any problems but the past 2 months been terrible.

  • Stevemartin1974 Stephen Martin (@Stevemartin1974) reported

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

  • BreezieCastell Breezie Castell (@BreezieCastell) reported

    @perolahammar @HostGator I’ve been having issues too for the first time. Did you try the chat?

  • happycraig Craig (@happycraig) reported

    Stay away from #hostgator My VPS has been down six times over the past five months due to @HostGator performing a data center migration. Down 12 hours last Saturday, down 4 hours so far today. Terrible communication and they don't follow their own timeline. I'm losing customers

  • VolkanErsan Volkan Ersan (@VolkanErsan) reported

    Your chat support doesn't work on Chrome guys. Forever 5 min wait time then window crashes @HostGator

  • kalinschmoldt Kalin Schmoldt (@kalinschmoldt) reported

    @HGSupport My VPS has been offline more than 2 days. Support just says "wait 2 hours" over and over. Zero communication from @HostGator.

  • happycraig Craig (@happycraig) reported

    @HostGator VPS has been down 24 hours now. Tech support cannot tell me why. HostGator is effectively killing my business. Sixth time my accounts have gone down.

  • happycraig Craig (@happycraig) reported

    @HGSupport The issue was escalated 24 hours ago. Case 44712317 Tech support can give me no information on the issue. No ETA on the account being up. Nothing. Over 100 of my customer websites are down.

  • 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.

  • TonathiuVargas1 Tonathiu Vargas (@TonathiuVargas1) reported

    @HGSupport my VPS has been down for almost 24 hours, my business depends 100% on my server, from what I see I am not the only one with this problem, could you tell us what is happening? mi case # 44722279.

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

    @HostGator why so long to respond. Please help, I need to get back online asap

  • dmv_tradesmen Joseph Martinelli (@dmv_tradesmen) reported

    As per my Media Department All of our websites that are under a @HostGator server with Wordpress installed are down.

  • billdubs Bill Dubs (@billdubs) reported

    @HostGator has got to be the worst hosting company on the planet! Been trying to reach support for 45 minutes; chat or via phone. What a joke!

  • Stevemartin1974 Stephen Martin (@Stevemartin1974) reported

    @HostGator Can you imagine wanting to do this.. but your site is down?

  • infotechcr Infotech (@infotechcr) reported

    @HostGator We need Hostgator to be honest... what was the issue about during this week events?

  • dmv_tradesmen Joseph Martinelli (@dmv_tradesmen) reported

    Tech support is a 35-40 min wait. My media team is waiting, As of now they haven’t received a call back! @HGSupport

  • carolmoore1776 Carol Moore (@carolmoore1776) reported

    anyone know why @Hostgator #Hostgator billed me 2 weeks before they said they would and I can't find similar billing #s on their account. are they hacked? their phone support useless.

  • doctorkaraca Dr. Mehmet Karaca (@doctorkaraca) reported

    @HGSupport I do not have an escalated case ID, there doesn't appear to be any other way of contacting your support team other than Live Chat and phone. The representative on Live Chat didn't give me a case ID. I'll DM you this anyhow.

  • Stevemartin1974 Stephen Martin (@Stevemartin1974) reported

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

  • framersbk Brian Kettler (@framersbk) reported

    @HostGator the worst customer service ever this week!! Working way too hard to get an SSL WILDCARD setup. We will probably look for a new hosting company when renewal comes!

  • CEOConsultants LOUIS (@CEOConsultants) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport is it acceptable for a dedicated server to be down an entire week? #Hostgator #TerribleHosting #BadCustomerService

  • dmv_tradesmen Joseph Martinelli (@dmv_tradesmen) reported

    @HGSupport @happycraig Just seen all my Wordpress sites are down

  • Stevemartin1974 Stephen Martin (@Stevemartin1974) reported

    @HostGator Totally beside myself that you feel 24 response time is acceptable when a site is down

  • dmv_tradesmen Joseph Martinelli (@dmv_tradesmen) reported

    @HGSupport An hour has passed and no tech support has been provided? Help?

  • 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?

  • kalinschmoldt Kalin Schmoldt (@kalinschmoldt) reported

    @HGSupport this is an honest question, but how long do you recommend I let my sites be down before I should switch hosts? What would you do?
