    @HostGator @HGSupport are hiding today...even escalated support is not responding...perhaps they finally gave up.

    Imagine a company the size of @HostGator still uses real humans in their support. I've been using them for years and their customer support is the number one reason I won't be leaving anytime soon. A company's CS is one of the best marketing strategies often ignored. They'd learn

    What’s wrong with HostGator? I need to contact my doctor but HostGator just gives me the runaround. Anyone have similar problems?

    @HGSupport we are still having issues with our email servers. This is like the 8th or 9th day of issues. It takes about 45 seconds to pull up every email. We run a medical equipment supply company and emails are getting lost and accidentally deleted with important documents in

    @process_eli I went to school for my assosciate's in applied sciences for computer programming & analysis way back in 2002. I quit a semester later and got a job as a remote L3 sysadmin for HostGator. They wanted me to learn Java before C++. **** that.

    Can any tech people help? We use Outlook for The Bookends Review and once a week, it'll stop sending and receiving mail because "503 Valid RCPT command must precede DATA." Then, I'll delete the emails we have in the HostGator CP and it'll work again. Any ideas how to fix?

    @HGSupport Hello Hostgator support,   My site is currently suspended due to subscription expiration.   I do not wish to renew the plan, but I’d like to request a short grace period to log in and export my site content.   Could you please temporarily unlock my site or downgrade it to the free plan so I can back up my data?   the live chat isnt working anymore Thank you for your assistance.

    Hey @HGSupport Vinayak is playing games with me. HG admins know how to update the SSL Certificate, but he acts like he can't do it and will not get help. I asked him to get a supervisor. He will not.

    @ethanjaack Day 6 of @HGSupport and they arbitrarily closed the ticket without checking to see if their fix worked. Which it did not. So after all these years, a random, easily solved glitch, ends my time with them. Turning a likely 15 min. Tech call into 3 emails over 6 days? Failure.

    @seanrogers8 @HostGator @spamhaus Spamhaus looks at email traffic from an IP address, often across many users on a shared server, not a single account. Our teams monitor and work with them to clear any listings. Please reach out to support so we can review your specific server and email setup.

    @HostGator @HGSupport my server has been down for 6 Day now the thing is your team locked out the server ports due recent cpanel issue, but till now I didn't get any followup or solution from your team they tell me to wait for 24-48 hr everyday and then give no reply

    @ZennieAbraham62 @HGSupport A better question is why does this process even require support, or for you to request it, then escalate your request? Automated SSL installs, renewals and replacements at $0 for life or ****!!!

    @HostGator @HGSupport When will you fix your email hosting? You provide the worst service ever!

    @MichaelFKane Time to set up your domain on a proxy that redirects traffic to a bunch of different services, 1 amazon, 1 hostgator, 1 idk something else. Then have them load distribute based on availability. You can never be too safe.

    @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.

    Day 9 of my server being completely DOWN with @HostGator. 📉 Provided all details via DM as requested, still nothing. Tickets ACOM-3138 & E-518989 haven't seen an email update in over 60 hours. What does it take to get an actual resolution? @HGSupport

    @HostGator @HGSupport we are now nearing 72 hours without access to our three sites. Zero e-mails updating the situation, daily support chats (whose transcripts are emailed), multiple PM with you on this platform...and nothing. It is time for HG to begin providing real answers beyond cut-and-paste ones.

    @HGSupport Once again, my dedicated server is down. Last time my sites were down for 4 days. I have yet to receive a reply from escalated support. Please fix this now.
