    @HGSupport There is no status in your website but our server is down again. Can’t get access to emails. Please provide a status update of when this will be fixed. We have businesses to run that rely on email.

  • juanlopezl Juan López L. (@juanlopezl) reported

    @37solutions @HostGator My dedicated server is down too... With about 45 domains with websites and emails... For the 5th time about in 3 months....

  • adrianjkwan Adrian J Kwan (@adrianjkwan) reported

    @SiteGround support - fixes problem in ten minutes. Super friendly. @HostGator support - five agents, five different solutions, none work. Make you feel like an idiot. So happy I switched.

  • JC_McDougall John McDougall (@JC_McDougall) reported

    @HGSupport After checking your response in the DM I see I was right. You were no help. You wasted my time.

  • RightHandVAN VAN (@RightHandVAN) reported

    @37solutions @HostGator Down here too. Been waiting online to "be connected to an agent within 5 minutes" for 30 minutes now.

  • web_ecosa Ecosa Web (@web_ecosa) reported

    @HGSupport Your reply does not address the problems you caused. That answer is a copy and paste reply, without taking the facts into consideration on the relevant matter.

  • MattCReal Steerpike, creator of "Just Animals" (@MattCReal) reported

    Recovering a domain name after it's expired from @HostGator is such nonsensical rigmarole. You have to get something called a reseller's club account and then put down a $25 deposit and then essentially buy back your old domain name again :/

  • HidayathullaD Hidayathulla Khan D (@HidayathullaD) reported

    @HostGator is there any issue hostGator Suuporting Team they are not answering us.

    My @hostgator website is down. I say this because it is the second time in maybe 10 years that it has happened. I'll have a shower, I'm sure it is fixed by then. #BestServiceEver

  • mouton_n mouton_n (@mouton_n) reported

    @HGSupport Our shared hosting account is down and we cant get hold of a support agent? This is not acceptable, what is going on?

  • HostGator HostGator (@HostGator) reported

    @Hardscape_Com @HGSupport @Hardscape_Com Thank you for contacting us. We are seeing there is a network issue and our network operations is working to address it. This is causing an increase in support contacts which is causing a delay to reach our live support team.

  • JC_McDougall John McDougall (@JC_McDougall) reported

    @HostGator When will my dedicated server be up? It has been down all day.

  • JC_McDougall John McDougall (@JC_McDougall) reported

    @HGSupport I have been down all day. Have called several times and nothing has changed. What are you going to do besides tell me someone else is working on it?

  • JC_McDougall John McDougall (@JC_McDougall) reported

    @HostGator Here we go again. My dedicated server is down again and now I have been disconnected from your call center. What is going on?
