  • glazinghelp glazinghelp.com (@glazinghelp) reported

    @SchoolReading @HostGator are you still down or has it been fixed yet, we are experiencing the same

  • johnmcduffie John McDuffie (@johnmcduffie) reported

    @HostGator lost every single file I had on their server. I have no email addresses, no emails, and no website files. It's been over 16 hours and they are still giving my copy and paste bullshit excuses. The worst part, each tech support person I talk to has no info on my ticket.

  • MrandMrsKink Mr and Mrs Kink **** (@MrandMrsKink) reported

    @HGSupport were getting nasty alerts that our website isn’t working. BTW you chat support does not work.

  • myscotlandtoday Iain Muir (@myscotlandtoday) reported

    @HGSupport OK, thanks for responding so quickly. It seems to be back up. I just had a Jetpack Alert to tell me it had gone down.

  • Jon_Cunningham Jonathon Cunningham (@Jon_Cunningham) reported

    @RyanJones @HostGator That sucks. I haven’t used Host Gator in forever but they were always good for me back in the day. Hopefully they can get that fixed.

  • msqinc Sandra (@msqinc) reported

    @HGSupport i have 2 sites on one account that are both down. Are your servers down again?

  • DigitalBookSpot DigitalBookSpot.com (@DigitalBookSpot) reported

    @RyanJones @HostGator 27 hours for us and they just pushed it back another 6 hours- this is insanity after they said it might be down for only 30 minutes in the notification email.

  • david_giorgi David R. Giorgi (@david_giorgi) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport No status page, No ETA on when our (20+) medical sites will be back online !!! 24h+ down and counting, it is likely we will be moving our sites away from HostGator ASAP. A disgrace.

  • RyanJones Ryan Jones (@RyanJones) reported

    @HGSupport You've looked into it 3 times, you keep saying "maintenance is still ongoing" that's why I'm taking this public. Cuz your support has no idea what's going on.

  • Mostafh_8 Mostafa Mogary (@Mostafh_8) reported

    @HGSupport Today is the eighth day of the series of false promises you give to us that the issue of bounced emails will be resolved within 24 to 48 and the false escalation of the issue, Do the HostGator support team can't find a solution for this issue?

  • SchoolReading School Reading List (@SchoolReading) reported

    Our website is currently down due to a server issue with @hostgator . We’re working on resolving it now. Should be back up and working tomorrow hopefully.

  • jbesedic John Besedic (@jbesedic) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport notified that my vps account was going through a migration process. It was suppose to be offine between 5-30min. Well over 10 hours and I'm still down. Customer server keeps hanging up on me. Don't use them

  • glazinghelp glazinghelp.com (@glazinghelp) reported

    @SchoolReading @HostGator I have contacted hostgator via the online chat and have been informed that they are currently migrating servers so they will be down and should be up and running soon.

  • BigRockGraphics Big Rock Graphics (@BigRockGraphics) reported

    @HGSupport Our VPS has now been down for over 8 hours, not the expected 4 hours maximum. What will @HostGator be doing to correct this immediately?

  • Telesierras Raul Silva (@Telesierras) reported

    @HostGator My site is down now for 7 hours while you "migrate" the server. We are losing money. Can you answer please?

  • tomtolkien Tom Tolkien (@tomtolkien) reported

    Six and a half hours on support chat to 5 different people at @hostgator @HGSupport in the early hours of Sunday morning. Gaslighting, denial, lies. No more. That's it folks. I'm out. Any suggestions for robust #hosting , please send my way!

  • faisal7moud Faisal Web developer (@faisal7moud) reported

    @HGSupport my vps over 10 hours down !!! Hostgator very bad experience

  • natalia_temple Natalia Temple (NewForestSafari) (@natalia_temple) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport My server is acting from past 12 hours. I have contacted your support multiple times but they even refuse to acknowledge the problem. #hostgator is down.

  • M_Malik_Moore Michael (@M_Malik_Moore) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport your customer service ******* sucks.

  • BigRockGraphics Big Rock Graphics (@BigRockGraphics) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator Our VPS/WHM is up again but none of the websites or domains on the server are resolving or working. Please investigate and resolve this ongoing issue @HGSupport

  • RyanJones Ryan Jones (@RyanJones) reported

    Hey @HostGator it's now been over 24 hours since you took my server down for 30m-1h of maintenance. Still not up. What the hell is going on?

  • ecarlesi Emiliano Carlesi (@ecarlesi) reported

    Possible threat on hxxps://citi-help-alert03c[.]com #phishing #hostgator

  • RyanJones Ryan Jones (@RyanJones) reported

    So @HostGator emailed me saying my sites would be down for 30 min to 1 hour for a data center migration. It's been over 13 hours now and they say it could be another 24 hours.

  • NodeSpace NodeSpace Hosting (@NodeSpace) reported

    @darth_na @RyanJones @HostGator Not even that - with cPanel's migration feature, we can literally move an entire server with zero customer downtime. Idk what they're doing, but it screams incompetence.

  • tomtolkien Tom Tolkien (@tomtolkien) reported

    @hostgator The cloud server my sites are hosted on have been down for five hours. (Backed up by evidence from pings, cloudflare, uptimerobot and more) Your chat support just doesn't care at all and won't lift a finger. Please look into it! Not sure what I'm paying you guys for...

  • K12readinglist K-12 School Reading List (@K12readinglist) reported

    @HostGator our site is down and your support won’t assist?

  • SetraHosting SetraHost (@SetraHosting) reported

    @imnotkatt Happy it's going better for you! They must've put you on a better server which is good to hear, but when they do face downtime issues within their datacenter, it effects both HostGator and bluehost customers.

  • Hady14133508 Hady (@Hady14133508) reported

    @HostGator I am unable to access all my websites, and the support team is saying there is server upgrade, how could you do that without planning and informing your customers.

  • chatterisdotbiz Chatteris Weather (@chatterisdotbiz) reported

    Hostgator are migrating data servers and it’s causing big problems to my site, they say it will be sorted by the 29th June, fingers crossed as I’m losing weather data 😟

  • Customercrusad1 Customercrusader (@Customercrusad1) reported

    @HGSupport Website remains down,the excuse given by support team is data centre migration ? Almost a week now?
