-
Russell Kaye (@russellskaye) reported@DanMicovic @HostGator @HGSupport I cannot access the WHM on my two Hostgator hosting products: VPS & Reseller Servers. I'm unable to get chat support either.
-
Kishor K Sukumar (@kishorksukumar) reported@francojosephsd @HGSupport My server has been down for 8 days now and still no fix yet

Sean Wyseman (@StressStopper) reported@HostGator @WamanyaPious There's another issue that's worse than that. Hostgator just totally changed their webmail interface in their hosting service & is telling me that I have to live with the new interface. Here's why that's a problem. I've used the same interface for >20 years. I've got daily work habits that depend on it. But what did Hostgator do? They decided that ALL of their clients that use Hostgator are getting a new interface that's a disaster. If you liked the fact that all your stuff was laid out in a way that made working in it a breeze - YOU CAN'T HAVE THAT ANYMORE. Why is that a problem? Hostgator NEVER CONSULTED THEIR USERS - NEVER gave them a chance to TRY the new interface & choose. NO. WITHOUT ANY WARNING WHATSOEVER - The changed it & when I call for support they claim there's nothing they can do. Since I have to change interfaces - which is a massive problem - I might as well switch providers because forcing changes on your customer base without warning & without any opportunity to even express an opinion - is the dumbes think I've seen in hosting services. Therefore if I have to change interfaces I might as well get a new hosting service - despite being >20 years with Hostgator - looks like they hired too many DEI supporters. Still can't believe they did this. Please, if you read this far, someone suggest a better hosting service if you can recommend on that interacts with it's customers before changing their lives forever.

Vrajesh Parekh (@yourwebcoders) reported@HGSupport @HostGator And even after deleting and cleaning everything on 29th Jul, they are not even replying to the email, and their support is unable to do anything, just playing from pillar to post (senior tier 1, higher admin, level 2 and whatnot). I am extremely disappointed and want to migrate,

Daniel Micovic (@DanMicovic) reported@HGsupport @HostGator now Google is taking down ads and organic ratings because the sties can't be reached. Thoughts? Compensation to regain rankings? Would love to hear any suggestions you may have as this disaster drags on.

Block News Media Global 🌞 ಠ_ಠ (@BlockNewsMedia2) reportedFFS @HostGator - hold for 25+min tech support line?
-
HostGator Support (@HGSupport) reported@viva_trista @HostGator Please be aware that you will be receiving an email from escalated support outlining your path forward. Once you receive that email, please respond as soon as possible.

Daniel Micovic (@DanMicovic) reported@HostGator @HGSupport are hiding today...even escalated support is not responding...perhaps they finally gave up.
-
Joseph Franco (@francojosephsd) reported@kishorksukumar @HGSupport Same here with 96 hours without service is a bad service from @HGSupport
-
Vrajesh Parekh (@yourwebcoders) reported@HostGator @ValeriaGadioli @HostGatorBrasil We have been using a VPS server and reseller hosting for the past 15 years, and recently one of our clients' domains was infected with malware. Instead of suspending that particular domain, they shut down the whole server. For the past 7 days, more than 50 sites are held hostage
-
HostGator (@HostGator) reported@juhca @HGSupport @TitanEmail To assist you better, could you please send us a direct message with more details about the issue, including any relevant account or domain information?
-
Joe (@JoeJavaJuice) reported@KenMediated Yep just ended a near 20 year relationship with HostGator. Changing terms of service, new tiers of disk usage limitations, 25% increased cost from last three year contract term and the latestest unethical billing practices. @HostGator is officially on the do not recommend list.
-
HADESNYC®️ (@HADESNYC) reportedAbsolutely unacceptable @HGSupport @HostGator doesn't even let the customers know when there are server issues.

Follow Me On GETTR Instead. I’m @AmericasMansMan (@PeterVadala) reportedI asked support to escalate it after an hour and a half where they attempted to fix it but couldn’t, and took over an hour to reset the server after which it promptly crashed again. @hostgator

Mehmet (@mettersoy) reportedAfter 14 years as a HostGator customer, I’m leaving. Not because of price. Not because of performance. But because they silently blocked all outbound traffic and took down my ecommerce business. 🧵👇

Daniel Micovic (@DanMicovic) reported@HGSupport @HostGator Nothing is connecting. No cPanel or WHM access, sites and email still down.

Karen Lakeman (@KarenLakeman) reported@hostgator bad customer service again!

Joe Moore (@aafc795) reported@cybernaira I had HostGator (the one I mentioned earlier with the Blue and Yellow colors) and Namecheap 9 years ago, and HG's follow up is excellent. They sent me emails to make sure everything was in order and if I needed any help. The dumb thing is, I never did anything with the Website.

JK’s Case History (@KenMediated) reportedWhat’s wrong with HostGator? I need to contact my doctor but HostGator just gives me the runaround. Anyone have similar problems?

Mehmet (@mettersoy) reportedHostGator support eventually confirmed it: “All outbound connections are blocked.” Yes. The server could not make outbound HTTPS requests (port 443). If you’re a dev, you already know: That breaks EVERYTHING.

B2B2B2B? Nicky D (@nick_donellan) reported@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

Nicky D COYR! (@nick_donellan) reported@HGSupport our email server is running incredibly slow. Do you have an ETA on the fix for this?

Makarand Mane | Organising #WCAsia 2026 (@mkrndmane) reportedDear @HostGator I am using your reseller hosting for more than 9 year & your @HGSupport quality is now gone down to dumb level. Seating for 2 hours on chat & no resolution yet. Your novice agent is not able to understand issue even after 2 hours. @NewfoldDigital

Alex | Vibe Coder (@AlexVibeCode) reported@ChristianNFocus @HostGator That’s the worst kind of billing hit — not just expensive, but disconnected from actual usage.
