    @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.

  • braxton_mccoy Braxton McCoy (@braxton_mccoy) reported

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • WoodyJungle Woody (@WoodyJungle) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator Worse server support going

  • AA_MediaStudios AA Media Studios (@AA_MediaStudios) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport need some help. Purchased a new VPS and been since locked out my account.

  • 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

  • th3v0t4ry Ƒʉͫcͧкͭιͪηͣ 𝙶𝚛𝚞𝚗𝚝𝚙𝚊 👴 (@th3v0t4ry) reported

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

  • TeamSubzz Subzz (@TeamSubzz) reported

    Our server has been down 3 days. Still NO #support or #response from Windows Admin Team. When will this be fixed #hostgator?

  • Natallini NattieD (@Natallini) reported

    @LilPecan That's tough if you don't have more of a streamlined host. He probably wants you to get the web page design service. I've been very happy with Hostgator when I've called tech support. You can go directly to WP and download a template you can use and then upload it.

  • 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

    @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

  • 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.

  • amritabithi amrita 🪶 (@amritabithi) reported

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

  • 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

  • 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

  • amritabithi amrita 🪶 (@amritabithi) reported

    @HGSupport @OnAirMarc I checked and I can view the login from a different region but in my region it is timing out ? It looked like it was being ddosed earlier the process list in cpanel was flooding and my sites aren't that busy at all.

  • 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".

  • 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!

  • amritabithi amrita 🪶 (@amritabithi) reported

    @HGSupport @OnAirMarc Twitter will not let me DM you but gator4162 was having all kinds of database errors in cpanel earlier, it did a few days ago also but cleared up, and file manager was barely usable now the URL to cpanel is down.

  • arisingtech Arisi Roberto (@arisingtech) reported

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

  • 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

  • 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?

  • 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

  • amritabithi amrita 🪶 (@amritabithi) reported

    It took two days for hostgator to respond to my ticket about the entire server being down and they just said "it looks fine" while its actively being hacked I'm defintely moving the people I recommended there to the one I use now it at least separates the sites by user.
