  • SheilaCreates Sheila (@SheilaCreates) reported

    Client moving email @HostGator > @BlueHost where he happens to have another hosting account until he finds a perm hosting home. Both companies are (were?) Endurance, which sucks, but service for troubleshooting an issue was like night/day. Finally! Saying g'bye to #BlueHost!

  • TheSharedScope Nidhi | Freelance Science Writer + Strategist (@TheSharedScope) reported

    Is anyone else having issues with either WordPress, HostGator, or Jetpack? My website seems to keep crashing and coming back to life (with some random changes) all on its own and as if I wasn't stressed out enough already... I'M STRESSED! Anyone know what's happening? DM me :'(

  • eturnti Kiran Divakaran (@eturnti) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport @hostgatorindia I have been waiting for my mail account to be working for the last 7 days and the issue is not resolved. Request your immediate action and response on this as my mail ID is not able to send any mail, frustrating. #hostgator #emailnotworking

  • stere0123 stere0123 (@stere0123) reported

    @HGSupport In regards to the ongoing email deliverability issues: 1. Is this an internal issue, or an issue with some 3rd party (such as a DNS/spam blacklist)? 2. Has any progress been made? 3. Can you provide an ETA for resolution? 4. Will we be compensated for the disruptions?

  • Ultimateguidet1 Ultimate_guide_to_everything (@Ultimateguidet1) reported

    @ZoeWundenberg @HostGator The tech support service is getting worst .. they screwing with my website , and one guy told on the phone to hire web developer !!!for this we pay @HostGator ??

  • arifsddq Dato Arif Siddiqui (@arifsddq) reported

    @amexicanbeauty @HostGator I have the same experience, i was enjoying good service since 10 years and now suddenly support has gone to worst. “Admin” become the king as every time call center (chat) is referring to “Admin” look like i am chatting to a food delivery company. 😭🥵

  • jprodgers Jimmie P Rodgers (@jprodgers) reported

    @SchuylerTowne @HostGator They are restoring something now, but things will be broken. Better than nothing.

  • nextlevelguy Next Level Guy (@nextlevelguy) reported

    @HostGator is there a problem with your online chat - it just spins and stays white and never loads after you have entered your details to chat?

  • Ultimateguidet1 Ultimate_guide_to_everything (@Ultimateguidet1) reported

    And yet @HostGator did it again!!! Why you people are screwing with our websites!! Forcing people to get Site Lock in a first place, and now telling me that's it's because if it , my blog doesn't work !! Barely English speaking tech support... 2 hours no results!!

  • jprodgers Jimmie P Rodgers (@jprodgers) reported

    I've been a @HostGator customer for well over a decade. My wife was having a major medical issue, and I missed my billing cycle. They deleted everything. No recovery options. I was a month late and missed the emails. Devastating to lose everything like that.

  • alifeablaze alab (@alifeablaze) reported

    btw, my original blog is still being held hostage by hostgator and no real answer from tech support (it has been almost seven hours since my first request for help)
