  • BillWatters12 Bill Watters (@BillWatters12) reported

    Hi, Is anyone with an account at Hostgator experiencing login issues. My website is down and it seems Hostgator is unavailable. Is this only a UK issue?

  • heartsocket Heartsocket (@heartsocket) reported

    @LeppelyPlus Yes it's pretty awful, but while bad, I don't think it will ever get as bad as HostGator. Where I was told to "look to the left to find the nearest penis because I'm having trouble identifying a male".

  • Pound4PoundGMG Pound4Pound Gaming (@Pound4PoundGMG) reported

    @HGSupport yes, this is the third time in a week the same scenario has happened and each time they have to "escalate" the ticket. They just had to do the same thing, it's hard to run a business when your website keep going down for unknown reasons.

  • vish_12345 vishal porwal (@vish_12345) reported

    @HostGator I purchased three years of hosting from HostGator 1.5 years (Unlimited hosting) back from the ongoing offer on your site. But for the last one month, I have been facing a very horrible experience from your customer care.

  • braxton_mccoy Braxton McCoy (@braxton_mccoy) reported

    Apparently the coronal mass ejection did happen but it only broke @HostGator customer service

  • OnAirMarc Marc Beinder 💻 (@OnAirMarc) reported from Township of Lindenwood, Missouri

    Gator4167 is down on @HostGator. Is there an eta on when it will be back up?

  • HGSupport HostGator Support (@HGSupport) reported

    @WoodyJungle @HostGator Getting disconnected can be frustrating, especially after all your hard work and time, but we're hear to help. Please send me a DM and tell me more about what's going on with your email.

  • HGSupport HostGator Support (@HGSupport) reported

    @92hyadav @HostGator Hello! We don't sell your information, ever. ICANN, however, does require that domain registrant information be listed in the WhoIS directory. We do offer a privacy service that you can select within your customer portal. Send us a DM with your domain if you have questions - Mel

  • vetvinney Drake iqinsark (@vetvinney) reported

    @HostGator today I have been on the phone with @progressive, @USHEALTH_Group, and 3 other companies customer service. This time, like every other, your support was by far the worst, and that't after I had to pay an additional fee... #customerservice #badcustomerservice

  • WoodyJungle Woody (@WoodyJungle) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator Worse server support going

  • ecartparts My Golf Cart Shop (@ecartparts) reported

    Sorry our website is down but, for the 4th year in a row @HostGator didn't update or add our (paid for) SSL for the site. We hope to have it up soon.

  • WoodyJungle Woody (@WoodyJungle) reported

    @EthaanJack Thanks I’ll check it out. I’m on my 3rd day without email and @HostGator don’t even care. Keep promising to follow up with a solution and you don’t hear back. I’m once again onto live support for the 7th hour!

  • ngintx The Engine (@ngintx) reported

    @braxton_mccoy @HostGator Yeah, that can be a mess. DM if you need another set of eyes. Fixing broken tech **** is one of the few things I’m good at.

  • karanidan2 Karanidan Gadhvi (@karanidan2) reported

    @karan_gadhavi @HGSupport @HostGator Thi is big problem

  • WoodyJungle Woody (@WoodyJungle) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator Erm… I’ve explained that to all 4 of your support staff over the last few hours. Why can’t you check the chats? I’ll DM you my main email

  • amritabithi amrita 🪶 (@amritabithi) reported

    @HGSupport @OnAirMarc gator4162 is down also hopefully it is because somebody is working on it... WHM is unreachable.

  • amritabithi amrita 🪶 (@amritabithi) reported

    Databases down for the third time in a week @HGSupport what is going on I am about to migrate away after this.

  • iamMachias J.P. Wing (@iamMachias) reported

    Anyone have experience with @HostGator as a hosting company? I've heard good things but I welcome any input. I have several sites down due to a bad migration exercise @machighway, and they're no longer talking to customers, so I need to start on Plan B.

  • fullfrankchan Frank “Dot Matrix” Lee💎 (@fullfrankchan) reported

    @braxton_mccoy @HostGator I wasn't aware hostgator had customer service

  • arisingtech Arisi Roberto (@arisingtech) reported

    @HGSupport @ecartparts @HGSupport still having problem with SSL certificate with zephyr server. Please resolve

  • 92hyadav Himanshu Yadav (@92hyadav) reported

    @HostGator I bought a domain from hostgator 3 days ago and hostgator sold my data to web design companies. This is how you treat your customers. I am getting 10 calls a day. I would never recommend hostgator to anyone. Never again buying any service from you. Such unethical org.

  • effekterfantasy Acácia (@effekterfantasy) reported

    @HGSupport @FeistyQuilter I have made multiple reports to the support team about my account being banned and nothing came out of it till i got to know about Multitask_Support on Instagram through a friend. I decided to give it a try and everything came out positive, I’m sure he’ll be of help to you

  • th3v0t4ry Ƒʉͫcͧкͭιͪηͣ 𝙶𝚛𝚞𝚗𝚝𝚙𝚊 👴 (@th3v0t4ry) reported

    @TonyLimaPOL @HostGator @braxton_mccoy Handholding is exactly the problem. I should be able to change my own DNS

  • karan_gadhavi Karan Gadhavi (@karan_gadhavi) reported

    @HGSupport @karanidan2 It has been a week @HostGator is still has the same issue. Something is wrong with hostgator? #Hosting #WordPress

  • DotWeekly JamiΞ Zoch (@DotWeekly) reported

    Thought: If NameCheap partnered with Newfold Digital (Web/NSI, Register, BuyDomains, SnapNames/NameJet, HostGator, BlueHost etc) and maybe ties in Tucows/eNom or another large registrar, a new powerhouse network (DLS) could be created & expired domain auction service. #shakeitup

  • WoodyJungle Woody (@WoodyJungle) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator And please send the verified support

  • onetoomanymusic one too many 👀 (@onetoomanymusic) reported

    @HGSupport @FeistyQuilter Exactly the same thing I faced and when I tried contacting support for almost two months and all I got was automated robot replies, and no answers I resulted to Multitask_Support on Instagram and they got everything to work in few mins

  • bearsandbeetsss talia rae (@bearsandbeetsss) reported

    @SquarespaceHelp I'd like to move away from working with Hostgator entirely, but I purchased my domain from them. I want to keep the domain. Can you help me figure out how to keep my domain name but become a Squarespace customer exclusively? Thanks!

  • rikimgr Riki Rivera (@rikimgr) reported

    Up late with @HostGator Support trying to figure out how to upgrade my package since I’m really committing to reviving my website 🥲
