Hostgator Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • aaronsilverman Aaron Silverman (@aaronsilverman) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator Actually, the problem was on your end. While on the phone with the CSR, everything started working. He said he rebooted the server. Thanks for pointing the finger at me though. Unless, of course, rebooting your server is something I should be doing?

  • oddsocket Oddsocket (@oddsocket) reported

    Er, @hostgator sites up and down for hours now, but no word from them on their channel? Poor show. Again.

  • MLTTechnologies Tom Cuneo (@MLTTechnologies) reported

    @zakirindian @HostGator It is like they are amateurs all of the sudden at website hosting... Really has gone down hill - 132 websites currently DOWN.

  • MLTTechnologies Tom Cuneo (@MLTTechnologies) reported

    Hey @DreamHostCare techs - would you ever do a migration of hundreds of websites during business hours with no warning at all? @HostGator did just that today! @NewfoldDigital just doesn't care about the customer any more. Leave us hanging in the wind

  • HGSupport HostGator Support (@HGSupport) reported

    @haiku_shack @HostGator @haiku_shack We do send out emails Cendrine, however your issue may have not been related to a server wide one. That may be the case. Since I didn't get your domain name, I couldn't confirm, but only assume based on common issues reported today. But I apologize for assuming 1/2

  • faisal7moud Faisal Web developer (@faisal7moud) reported

    @HGSupport my vps down !!! Trying to get support no answer

  • haiku_shack Cendrine Marrouat (@haiku_shack) reported

    Are your servers down, @HostGator? I can't access my inboxes and websites.

  • haiku_shack Cendrine Marrouat (@haiku_shack) reported

    @HGSupport My name is Cendrine (no H). I finally managed to chat with a representative. Why would the company not update customers about what is going on? Since the outage is affecting thousands of people, @HostGator has a responsibility to communicate with us in a transparent way.

  • EHTestArea EHTestAreaey (@EHTestArea) reported

    @HGSupport As of today, all our sites are down for 7 days!! I don't even know how many times I contacted your support. I've been hearing you guys are working on issues for the last 7 days! No new update, no ETA. TERRIBLE! Case# 43885656

  • MLTTechnologies Tom Cuneo (@MLTTechnologies) reported

    @WarpOneTravel @HostGator They have really gone down hill since being conglomerated by big corps. Support sucks now, uptime, no help at all. 132 sites and 10 years and this is what we get.

  • EHTestArea EHTestAreaey (@EHTestArea) reported

    @HGSupport We are reseller. ALL websites under our account are down for 8 days!! Your support keep telling me they are working on it. What is going on? Case #43885656

  • aaronsilverman Aaron Silverman (@aaronsilverman) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator My websites are down AGAIN. This is the second time in a few months. I am on the phone with support, and he keeps "checking" things. What can I do from my end to help prevent these issues moving forward?

  • HGSupport HostGator Support (@HGSupport) reported

    @jtlindroos @HostGator Hello JT, would you mind DMing us your domain name? And if you already contacted support, a case ID would be much appreciated. Let's see what's going on. (Sorry for the delay)

  • sherifAlSamman Sherif Al-Samman (@sherifAlSamman) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport yesterday all services down for more than 12 hours!! its working now. Why would the company not update customers about what is going on?

  • gaegeroot Gaege Root | Experimentalist 🧪 (@gaegeroot) reported

    Did you know: current website hosts (godaddy, bluehost, hostgator, etc) have the power AND right to shut down your site at any time for any reason. That's not a risk when you host your website on a blockchain with a platform like @pinatacloud or @FleekHQ

  • BlitzK BlitzK (@BlitzK) reported

    @HGSupport Why can't you keep the network up??? Why is my domain down as much as it is????? This is getting ridiculous

  • karan_gadhavi Karan Gadhavi (@karan_gadhavi) reported

    @HostGator sucks!

  • haiku_shack Cendrine Marrouat (@haiku_shack) reported

    I have been trying to access the support chatroom for half an hour now. I can't access any of my websites and inboxes. @HGSupport

  • HGSupport HostGator Support (@HGSupport) reported

    @haiku_shack @HostGator Forgive me. I thought you were stating the conversation didn't lead to a solution. I'm happy to hear its resolved. In regards to transparency, when there is a large migration or serverwide issue, our admins send emails or forum posts like above to those impacted by this.

  • WoozYerDaddee Woozyerdaddee (@WoozYerDaddee) reported

    @HGSupport My friend moved his sites to HG on my recommendation and is having problems, but is getting no satisfaction from support. What should he do?

  • jtlindroos JT Lindroos (@jtlindroos) reported

    @HGSupport Website and email down for hours, can't connect to support.... I didn't like godaddy, but @HostGator sucks worse.

  • MLTTechnologies Tom Cuneo (@MLTTechnologies) reported

    @NewfoldDigital @Forbes 132 websites down without ANY warning and with promises that a migration will not take place during business hours, yet here we are @HGSupport techs are useless and you have proven again you DONT care about the customers. I will be moving my sites.

  • _CooLesT_ The CooLesT (@_CooLesT_) reported

    @heymusafir @marouane_rhafli @HostGator Same thing here, site is down

  • haiku_shack Cendrine Marrouat (@haiku_shack) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator I have never received an email from HostGator when there were major issues before. So I know your statement to be incorrect

  • Xevious ゼビウス (@Xevious) reported

    My @HostGator sites are all down. "The MySQL server is currently offline". Not good.

  • MLTTechnologies Tom Cuneo (@MLTTechnologies) reported

    @HostGator All 132 of my websites are offline - what moron decided to do a server migration during business hours? According to YOUR techs, a migration is being done without notice, during PRIME business hours. Previous owner would have never done this

  • sherifAlSamman Sherif Al-Samman (@sherifAlSamman) reported

    Service down for hours. Why would the company not update customers about what is going on? Since the outage is affecting thousands of people, @HostGator @HGSupport Worst company ever

  • haiku_shack Cendrine Marrouat (@haiku_shack) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator If you really work at HostGator, you will know that the issue was reported by hundreds of people. Even specialized websites reported the outage.

  • microMAF Musharraf Ali Farooqi (@microMAF) reported

    Anyone else experiencing problems with Hostgator-hosted sites in Pakistan?

  • JohnnyBFine Johnny Fine (@JohnnyBFine) reported

    @HGSupport my site has been down for over 24 hours now. Is this due to migrating to a new data center this weekend.
