Hostgator Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • BTejani Bhinang Tejani (@BTejani) reported

    sleep(86400); @HostGator dedicated server love this command because it sleeps 24 hours frequently and also their @hostgatorindia support. Do you need any other reason to go for AWS instead?

  • TalhaIzhar Talha Izhar (@TalhaIzhar) reported

    @0bi1Kan0bi @Huk06 @sadapaypk Hosting is a different topic. Hosting decision would depend on your audience and website requirements. I have used hostgator, bluehost, aws based on what was needed and where the users were based. I have never used local Hosting and hence cannot say.

  • JField7777 James Field (@JField7777) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator Ok, so if you guys do know what the issue is how come we cannot get an ETA. 1 reliable email day in 15 days is a death knell to most businesses nowadays.

  • tashina_k Tashina Knight (@tashina_k) reported

    @HostGator @lightmix It can’t have been fixed because I still haven’t been able to send a single email in 6 days now. Changing hosts today. This is unacceptable. I’ve been calling tech support daily.

  • adamtybarra adam ybarra (@adamtybarra) reported

    @HostGator I have no access to emails and website for 3 days. This was an issue 2 weeks ago but last week from Monday through Thursday everything was fine. Please @HostGator please resolve … I depend 100% on my website and emails for my income.

  • hiren904 Hiren Khambhayta (@hiren904) reported

    @HostGator my email services are down since a week. I am just getting assurance via live chat and emails since 3 days. Case red no. 42176110

  • SupaWebHosting SupaWebHosting (@SupaWebHosting) reported

    @HostGator Down again? All websites and emails down???

  • IsItYumOrYuck Yum Or Yuck? Ⓥ (@IsItYumOrYuck) reported

    @superconsuchan @shoaibhussain Good to hear. I (and many others) have had those issues with Hostgator for years though so it wasn't to do with the migration. Couldn't deal with the stress of my sites randomly going offline anymore so migrated everything away. I do hope it's resolved for you though! 🤞

  • Itsmenirajmishr Niraj mishra (@Itsmenirajmishr) reported

    @HGSupport Yes but they didn't solve my problem and maximum time they put my call on hold and didn't reply..

  • HamboneTrades Hambone (@HamboneTrades) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator I have been on multiple chats with no help just that I need to wait on admin. After more than 24 hours I got a generic email that said it was ip address. When they are blocked on my phone (not on wifi) as well. More chat now says I need to wait 24 hours more. case #42283522

  • superconsuchan Consu Chan 💗🌟 (@superconsuchan) reported

    @HostGator Mails and server is down! I NEED MY ECOMMERCE UP!!!

  • NewbieBiz Create Online Biz (@NewbieBiz) reported

    @HostGator I am having problems login to my cpanel and all my sites are down? Is there a problem at your hosting.

  • chazwhit3 c white (@chazwhit3) reported

    @HostGator It’s still a problem today July 13. I’ve called Customer support and was last told I’d get a call back in 18 minutes. That was an hour and 45 minutes ago. Just called back and now it’s telling me 99 minutes. Going to lose a lot of customers!

  • OmarAlb45363745 Omar Albornoz (@OmarAlb45363745) reported

    @BevRoze @HostGator I agree, is terrible...

  • coffeeAndNextJs sb (@coffeeAndNextJs) reported

    Just deleted about 25 gig of files on my hostgator space, because that's what brought down my shared hosting according to the tech support guy. I'm glad it's up again, but according to the plan description, the disk space is "unmetered", so would like to know the absolute limit

  • crypt0bank crypt0bank.eth (@crypt0bank) reported

    @HGSupport Host Gator has the worst support in history! Trying to resolve issues for days but no luck because they seem to be super lazy.....

  • SyncraTec Your down-to-earth cloud solutions provider (@SyncraTec) reported

    @HostGator The process of getting through to HostGator Support is horrible. First, you get a bot that wants you to say what you’re calling about, then it makes you spell-out your full email address letter-by-letter… A really crappy experience…

  • damiancook Damian Cook (@damiancook) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport after a brief return of service, emails back to being delivered days late or not at all. Live chat support astonishingly bad.

  • Itsmenirajmishr Niraj mishra (@Itsmenirajmishr) reported

    Please don't buy hosting from hostgator @HostGator . His customer support team sucks. They listen your problems and put your call on hold and don't reply ..

  • DavidaPride David Pride (@DavidaPride) reported

    @spolandgaming @HostGator I'm in the same boat with a different issue. Been a customer for 10-years...never had such a bad experience with them...it's been 5-days of people from their company being confused with no answers.

  • shoaibhussain Shoaib Hussain (@shoaibhussain) reported

    @spolandgaming @HostGator I doubt the issues will be resolved any time soon, they started during data center migration couple of weeks back and then things took a big U turn! I guess they have cheap offshore staff with little knowledge lately that’s why so many issues the last year!

  • jtlindroos JT Lindroos (@jtlindroos) reported

    @HGSupport Email and website down, chat support not working...

  • DavidaPride David Pride (@DavidaPride) reported

    @HostGator totally disappointed in your customer service. Been a loyal customer for over 10-years...seems like the boat is sinking and I'm left with unanswered problems and no one there is communicating or answering my questions.

  • OgboOjiako O.J (@OgboOjiako) reported

    @HostGator I have exhausted all avenues to reach support and I'm tired. How can a web hosting company not have a live chat platform. Please how do I reach someone who'll help me cancel my account and issue me my refund. Thanks

  • chazwhit3 c white (@chazwhit3) reported

    @IDcrisisdesign @HostGator Same, I’ve never had this issue with my old provider! Guess I’ll be leaving HG. This is not acceptable

  • infernal_monkey Infernal Monkey 🔞 (@infernal_monkey) reported

    @myscotlandtoday @HostGator @HGSupport Same situation here, my site just went down about half an hour ago

  • loktar00 Loktar 🇺🇸 (@loktar00) reported

    @HostGator have had an account with you guys for over 10 years... was always pretty reliable but on top of my sites not working now email is down. You're losing another customer due to this insane outage.

  • ImEdward83 Edward Johnson (@ImEdward83) reported

    @ElvioEF @HostGator YESSS.... Hostgator's support system is like Halley's Comet - replies/solves error in once in a 75-79 years....

  • chubchub94 DB at 3jamigos.com (@chubchub94) reported

    @myscotlandtoday @HostGator @HGSupport Yes, I'd like to know too. My site is down again

  • WarpOneTravel Warp One Travel (@WarpOneTravel) reported

    @HostGator And pick a partner that doesn’t have a server migration go awry causing a two-week outage of email that still isn’t fixed.
