Hostgator Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • JayMarroquin Jay Marroquin (@JayMarroquin) reported

    @HostGator is absolutely the worst hosting service provider I've ever had. Over the last month, multiple websites just randomly go down for over 5 minutes at a time. This happens multiple times a week. If I didn't have downtime notifications I wouldn't know about it.

  • TheDigitalHippi Debbie Forand 👋🌿💻 (@TheDigitalHippi) reported

    @HGSupport Thank you, I have been in contact with them, and issues are resolved. However, the situation should never have happened in the first place.

  • Runt4Ever Lori Matthews (@Runt4Ever) reported

    @HGSupport So why are you billing me a week early..customer service rep is not helping

  • Zen62com Zennie Abraham CEO ZENNIE62MEDIA INC (@Zen62com) reported

    @omarnas @petsimk @HostGator Same problem here!

  • networkcompare Mobile Comparison (@networkcompare) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator this is the final straw. DNS on all my domains has been down for 48 hours plus. Your engineers haven't even given me an update in that time let alone fixed it. Dozens of domains without working websites or email for multiple days is not acceptable!

  • mrmansilla mrmansilla (@mrmansilla) reported

    @HGSupport Is HG with problems right now?

  • SevillaTapas Shawn Hennessey ☀️🍷 (@SevillaTapas) reported

    So @HostGator @HGSupport... all my sites are down and I can't access my portal. What's going on?

  • BaldBeard69 LordBaldTarnishedBeard (INFP-T) (@BaldBeard69) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport is absolutely awful if you want to cancel your domain hosting package. Ugh. 🤬

  • ThinkUtilitySer Think Utility Services (@ThinkUtilitySer) reported

    @HostGator @YouTube Hostgator I need your escalated support team to assist me. It's been over a week and a half since I've tried to prevent my SSL from going down. Goes down despite your feedback. Now my FTP is down from it. That's been down for a week and no feedback. Please help!

  • networkcompare Mobile Comparison (@networkcompare) reported

    @skystracloud I can access cpanel but think all DNS settings are lost because hostgator have had DNS down for 2 days now. I am on mobile without reliable internet and need sites and email accounts to be fixed!

    So disappointed in @HostGator their support team has completely jacked up my sites. Who is your hosting company? #frustrated #blogger

  • RealAnuraGuruge Anura Guruge (@RealAnuraGuruge) reported

    @HGSupport Yes. It was SCARY. I am HAPPY to login. Never got my Call Back!

  • petsimk S. Simkus (@petsimk) reported

    @HostGator Is Hostgator down? Unable to open anything there - Dashboard, cPanel leads to “this site cannot be reached “

  • IbnKhalis ﻣﺤﻤﺪ ﺑﻦ ﺧﺎﻟﺺ (@IbnKhalis) reported

    Who else uses @HostGator? Been having a lot of trouble with them lately. Website has constantly been going down and they’re trying to leverage me to buy into an upgrade 😤 customer support is a nightmare! #incompetence

  • ScottSandry Sandry (@ScottSandry) reported

    @HGSupport I have several tickets regarding this, guess how many have been supportive? Zero. It's almost a month long issue. It's the worst your company has ever been in 10+ years. Is the default just blame the customer now? You guys admitted to changes and that's when problems started.

  • klifokumu Lowie (@klifokumu) reported

    Hey @HostGator, what's up with your servers? all websites hosted buy you are literally down. This has been going on for a while now. Your support @HGSupport is not helping either!! #wordpresswebsite @WordPress

  • ScottSandry Sandry (@ScottSandry) reported

    @HGSupport So what scam are you running as none of your excuses fit. Sent multiple emails from same ip (ccd myself on most) 1 still gets rejected (1 I didn't cc) so it can't be my ip as the rest went fine. Also no cloud hosted email has issues. Are you trying to force ppl to cloud hosting?

  • kamal_bunkar kamal bunkar (@kamal_bunkar) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport what a poor service, 1:30 minutes on chat & you guys not giving support. case ID. 42767820

  • networkcompare Mobile Comparison (@networkcompare) reported

    @HGSupport How can I have an ID when you have broken DNS so all my email accounts are not working? This has now been over 48 hours. DNS completely broken. All domains down, websites down, email down. No response whatsoever from Hostgator.

  • CartelProhibido Cartel Prohibido (@CartelProhibido) reported

    @TheEntrepYou @HostGator @Hostgator sucks. They left many customers without email for 7 days. After multiple claims, his response was a 2-month extension of his service.

  • networkcompare Mobile Comparison (@networkcompare) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator Is this an actual joke? All my email accounts across dozens of domains have been down since you broke all DNS on all my VPS. Your admin now told me I need to reply to an email to fix this. DNS is down so I HAVE NO EMAIL ACCESS STILL! It's been over 48 hours!

  • TheEntrepYou The Entrepreneurial You Media (@TheEntrepYou) reported

    Why is @HostGator support doing this to me? They partially helped me and left me hanging, now I am back to square 1. Because of this I am unable to update my site with today's episode of the podcast.

  • Hannalytics1 Hannan (@Hannalytics1) reported

    you will have to find a web hosting service for your site. Some services will cost you a lot of money, but you can find good hosting services on a budget. Examples of cheap but quality hosting services are Hostinger, HostGator, and BlueHost, (4/11)

  • gogogadgetguy GoGoGadgetGuy (@gogogadgetguy) reported

    @EthaanJack Yes @HostGator is losing a customer .

  • ThinkUtilitySer Think Utility Services (@ThinkUtilitySer) reported

    @HGSupport I've had an FTP issue for over a week and nobody can fix it. Please help. Case #42865159

  • yahighnez2u Chantal Jones (@yahighnez2u) reported

    @HGSupport Hello…I’m unable to login to my portal. May I receive assistance with this please?

  • JayMarroquin Jay Marroquin (@JayMarroquin) reported

    This is what happens when groups such as @NewfoldDigital (formally Endurance International Group) snatch up every local ISP they can and gut it to the bare minimums all in the name of profit. All of @HGSupport is now outsourced to India and it honestly sucks.

  • ThinkUtilitySer Think Utility Services (@ThinkUtilitySer) reported

    @HGSupport Done and I messaged you more information. Can someone fix my port? I've tried for 7 days now and no help.
