    @muktobihongo28 Yeah Bhai, @HostGator said may be there is an issue with DNS.

  • 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

  • 92hyadav Himanshu Yadav (@92hyadav) reported

    @HostGator I bought a domain from hostgator 3 days ago and hostgator sold my data to web design companies. This is how you treat your customers. I am getting 10 calls a day. I would never recommend hostgator to anyone. Never again buying any service from you. Such unethical org.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • JoshuaTSibanda Joshua T Sibanda (@JoshuaTSibanda) reported

    @BlogKiki_ I'm getting some response from GoDaddy,bluehost, HostGator & namecheap servers. But Hostinger and dreamhost seem to be down. This is very difficult to explain. However, Facebook runs over 30k servers in-house, this is in some partnership with GoDaddy, which is up.

  • ngintx The Engine (@ngintx) reported

    @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.

  • QuestionablePr5 Questionable Programming (@QuestionablePr5) reported

    @HostGator @Twitter Glad to know its not just another weird problem with my internet

  • 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.

  • Decipherous Krakadoom (@Decipherous) reported

    @HostGator You mean never put all your eggs near a gator? 🤔

  • rikimgr Riki Rivera (@rikimgr) reported

    Up late with @HostGator Support trying to figure out how to upgrade my package since I’m really committing to reviving my website 🥲

  • 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

  • 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

  • vish_12345 vishal porwal (@vish_12345) reported

    @HostGator I purchased three years of hosting from HostGator 1.5 years (Unlimited hosting) back from the ongoing offer on your site. But for the last one month, I have been facing a very horrible experience from your customer care.

  • OutlawSoaps Outlaw (@OutlawSoaps) reported

    @monaeatsLA (Danielle here)- I feel like everything relies on someone else's platform at this point... when I was on Wordpress, HostGator went down for 3 days. Now I'm on Shopify, and they sometimes (rarely) go down. Is there anywhere that isn't on someone else's platform?

  • fullfrankchan Frank “Dot Matrix” Lee💎 (@fullfrankchan) reported

    @braxton_mccoy @HostGator I wasn't aware hostgator had customer service

  • dynastic dynastic (@dynastic) reported

    shoulda never smoked that **** now 6 planets are in hostgator

  • 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

  • DavidKellyAD David Kelly (@DavidKellyAD) reported

    @HGSupport Already reached out, it was resolved for about 10 minutes and then went down again.

  • FGOABORG I need to come up with a clever name (@FGOABORG) reported

    @BridgetMWillard When I was at HostGator, I really came to enjoy working on it. You can do some really neat stuff, especially if you are using Cloudflare etc. However, since I'm not working with it regularly, I try to avoid it if I can help it.

  • UriAbramov Uri Abramov (@UriAbramov) reported

    What the hell is wrong with this company @HostGator @HGSupport you can’t even pay the damn bill online even if you wanted to does anybody have the same problem as well? I’ve spoken to over 15 agents in this company and nobody can help

  • bearsandbeetsss talia rae (@bearsandbeetsss) reported

    @SquarespaceHelp I'd like to move away from working with Hostgator entirely, but I purchased my domain from them. I want to keep the domain. Can you help me figure out how to keep my domain name but become a Squarespace customer exclusively? Thanks!

  • braxton_mccoy Braxton McCoy (@braxton_mccoy) reported

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

  • UriAbramov Uri Abramov (@UriAbramov) reported

    I have been using @HGSupport @HostGator for about 15 years I have been having some problems with the server and it’s been down for over a month I can’t get a manager to call me for over two weeks already this is absolutely despicable

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

    @NomadicNeen I use Wordpress but host with @HostGator. So much better service (and less expensive than my previous hosting company which shall remain unnamed -- but isn't the one you mentioned.
