Hostgator Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
CJ Cornell (@cjcornell) reportedDoes anyone have any web hosting recommendations so I can get away from @hostgator and the awful @HGSupport ?? Happy to pay a premium to hopefully take lots of other unhappy customers with me.
-
Vasudevan M.R. (@VasudevanMR) reported@hostgatorindia @HGSupport My emails have been blocked apparently because my IP address has been flagged. But I use a dynamic IP allotted by my ISP @airtelindia . I have no control over the IP. There is no way for me to resolve the issue. Absolutely pathetic.
-
Egerton Sinclair (@Eg_a_Sinclair) reported@skystracloud Hey, no it didn’t so I’ve moved to a new provider. Had enough of hostgator and their lack of customer service
-
jigsaw kloud (@jigsawkloud) reported@ZKDID_ Never used Hostgator, so I have no point of reference. I switched from SiteGround as their renewal prices just kept increasing. Hoping to eventually switch to decentralised hosting. Keeping an eye on @IagonOfficial
-
Cutearundhathi (@cutearundhathi) reported@HGSupport @adamfarrar Thank you for your reply. I have already shared my domain. Please try to understand that I have posted Important articles on it which I have written. I want my data to be retrieved and continue with your service. Yours faithfully... Arundhathi

OkYall (@okyall55) reported@Hostgator, unbeknownst to me no longer provide, free backup. Had I known this, I certainly would have moved my blog much, much sooner to @BlueHost who provides it for a free with zero charge restore fees. You have lost your customer service score but your bottom line may have increased TEMPORARILY. Now that I've been forced to review my choice of hosting services for all my blogs and websites, I also have learned that they have almost 10 points higher ratings than you and are a fraction of how much you charge.
-
OkYall (@okyall55) reported@HostGator deleted MANY of my posts. Not me. Hostgator. Now they won't restore them unless I pay them to do it. I've been a customer for 20 years or more. Never thought I would see the day that they would be so blatantly crooked. If you use host Gator, you have to pay for them to back up your blog or pay a third party. Or you have to copy everything on your site. BlueHost is cheaper, backs up every day, charges nothing extra and restores for no charge. What happened to hostgator?????
-
Annie 🍁 Freedom Enthusiast (@westcoastgirl1) reported@HGSupport your team was not here to help! their response to me was to hire you instead of fixing my problem - I have requested my $$ back.

🌐On Your Mark (@onyourmarknj) reported@YoungbloodJoe @jonoalderson Ugh. Need to switch! I left Bluehost, HostGator, and Network Solutions when they dug in their claws and gutted those services. Blech.

Er Rahul Rana (@ErRahulRana2) reportedhostgator locked my profile guys @HostGator Help me . My important customer here. Support me #hostgator #technology

Robert Tantalo (@rtantalo) reported@HostGator DO NOT use Host Gator. They have taken a month to complete a simple migration and just DO NOT respond. They keep saying they have prioritized the issue but no one ever replies. RUN!!!

Oscar Múgica ن (@oscarmugica389) reported@HGSupport hi is HG down? I can’t login into my wp admin.

Brandon🇺🇦 (@bc3tech) reported@HGSupport @mulls2go appears local mailboxes are ok, but forwarders to external boxes are broken.
-
Shamail Aijaz (@shamailaijaz) reportedDisappointed with @HostGator's customer support. No solution provided on ticket S-2195876 after 7 days. Very Unprofessional hosting company. #worstcustomerservice
-
Dundee Internet (@Dundee_Internet) reported@HGsupport We operate a private opt-in discussion list on our mail server used to distribute messages only to subscribed members. The system is not used for spam or bulk commercial mail — it is a controlled discussion list serving legitimate clients-This appears to be a misclassification by your mail system or an IP-level restriction. Who can I contact, as you support number and AI chat doesn't understand
-
coltswalker (@coltswalker) reportedWhen I was a customer of #HostGator web hosting they suspended my account, and all of the web sites I was hosting, all of the email accounts, domains, everything, because someone complained to them about an article on a 3rd party wiki. AVOID HOSTGATOR! #consumerProtection
-
Sr.Sergio (@SrSergioG) reported@ShopifySupport @HostGator @Shopify I have submitted that form countless times and you have done nothing. If Cloudflare had not notified users the hackers would still be continuing to steal from us without any issues, because you have failed to take action.
-
Deporable (@okdeplorable) reported@HostGator Apparently this company has moved all of it's customer service overseas. Consequently you can only understand every other word.
-
coltswalker (@coltswalker) reportedDo not use @hostgator. They censor. They suspend accounts without warning. You lose your money and data. Hostgator is a terrible company. #scam #scamalert #buyerbeware
-
Abhishek Ingle (@abhishekingle) reported@HGSupport Why @HGSupport is ghosting it's customers? It's been 3 days since I raised an escalation and even after multiple emails I have not received any responses. HG Support used to be far more responsive earlier.
-
Oscar Múgica ن (@oscarmugica389) reported@HGSupport Is down right now says: It is not just you. The server is not responding...
-
Cutearundhathi (@cutearundhathi) reported@HGSupport @adamfarrar I haven't received any confirmation on fixing my issue with Hostgator on DM. Why is it so? I don't understand....Is this the way you give service to your customers?
-
OkYall (@okyall55) reported@Hostgator, unbeknownst to me, no longer provide, free backups. Had I known this, I certainly would have moved my blog much, much sooner to @BlueHost who provides it DAILY for a free with a $0 restore fee. You have lost your customer service score but your bottom line may have increased TEMPORARILY. Now that I've been forced to review my choice of hosting services for all my blogs and websites, I also have learned that they have almost 10 points higher ratings than you and are a fraction of how much you charge. Why on earth would anybody pay more, get less, and risk loss? Since I have suffered from your lack of customer care, I will be moving my blogs. Do not touch them again until I have gotten all of my content removed
-
Aishwarrya Deepak (@aishrudeep) reported@HGSupport @HostGator Case #46908029: Frustrated with lack of updates from HostGator Customer Advocate Team. Expected response within 48hrs as mentioned in the email, but still no communication. Please provide an update or reason for delay.
-
Anne Ryan (@RyanAssocs) reported@hgsupport Help. Every time I try to have support upload new wordpress site while backing up old html site, the new site continues to refer to the subdomain I created it in. Good grief...no one in support knows what to do.
-
Akhil P Walia (@akhilpw) reported@hostgatorindia All our websites hosted on #Hostgator are down for the last 45 minutes, and the support is hard to reach. After waiting in-line for over 20 minutes to reach chat support , the agent is totally unresponsive.

Michele Elliston (@micheleelliston) reported@HostGator is there a problem with customer service? I've been waiting for ages just to get someone to help me.
