  • DNAbeaniebaby sophia (@DNAbeaniebaby) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport i'm at least happy my purchase was immediately refunded, but your service has made setting up my professional website absolutely impossible.

  • RoduanKD Roduan Kareem Aldeen (@RoduanKD) reported

    @enunomaduro Somebody has to wake @HostGator up. They still have no support for php 8 😪😴💤🥱

  • DNAbeaniebaby sophia (@DNAbeaniebaby) reported

    @HGSupport absolutely not. this is the second time. your support staff is earnest and i'm sure they're trying their best, but they have been trained incompetently and have been unable to understand my problem at every turn. i am taking my money elsewhere.

  • _EmmaofAfrica Emmanuel Oluwaseun (@_EmmaofAfrica) reported

    @HostGator is one of the most annoying hosting services I've used. Had issues, contacted support severally with no solution. My hosting package is not even showing in my dashboard anymore🤦. #webhosting

  • Rpsran RavinderPal Singh Sran (@Rpsran) reported

    @HostGator Don't buy anything from them. There support is lazy and they will not help you if the website goes down. 24 hours and they have been doing nothing and my entire server is down.

  • optwtn OP (@optwtn) reported

    Got escalated to backend team. Had to wait for hours to get a log. That was y'day. Everything suggested was done. Now it's escalated to server team. I'm asked to wait for 4-6 hours. Meanwhile sites are down. I better shut shop and go to sleep. #hostgator #india @hostgatorindia

  • GeorgeKirikos George Kirikos (@GeorgeKirikos) reported

    @APuneet07 @domainsgeneral Just because I feel he has the stronger case doesn't mean I'm 'biased'. I've never received money from Oxley (although I used to be a customer of HostGator, before he sold it). I'm not doing business with you, so you don't need to 'trust me' on anything.

  • optwtn OP (@optwtn) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport @hostgatorindia 2 Days on. Website still down. Took all actions per #hostgator suggestions. Hostgator team is clueless. Only reactionary rather than proactive mode. You call them up, explain the situation. they take 20 minutes. Phone gets disconnected,

  • ChecoM83 César A. Dios Valladolid (@ChecoM83) reported

    Is it #HostGator down? Can't access to my cPanel.

  • Ryancjames Ryan C. James (@Ryancjames) reported

    @HGSupport is the email hosting down? We seem to have a connection issue.

  • IKnowSheTwitent Coach| Consultant|Graphics Design|Brander|Creator (@IKnowSheTwitent) reported

    So if GoDaddy was told this 8 and 5 years ago and they were told about all the issues with 1 and one 1 HostGator and then they choose to keep up their provocation techniques and tactics that the same things that the other registrar did then everybody has a pattern of fraud

  • normankaui Norman Kaui (@normankaui) reported

    @Marelisa @HostGator Yes, same here. It looks like a mysql issue. The websites are not able to connect to mysql.

  • realest49919420 Texas Real Estate Investor (@realest49919420) reported

    @FGOABORG @girdley That explains Hostgator customer support then

  • usoabank USOA Bank (@usoabank) reported

    @HostGator I’ve been trying to get ahold of your technical support department for the past few days and still haven’t been waiting the wait time is ridiculous.

  • davidiwanow @iwanow@aus.social (@davidiwanow) reported

    @kevwiles the security and customer service is a disaster but used a cheap @HostGator website for years with no issues... just don't expect any decent tech support for updating php, getting hacked or dealing with DDoS

  • CaptainXDave Captain Dave 🏴‍☠️ (@CaptainXDave) reported

    If anyone who follows me uses @HGSupport (Hostgator), are you having timeout and slow response issues tonight?

  • monroeandco Monroe&Co. (@monroeandco) reported

    @HGSupport I TOLD YOU THE ISSUE that's the issue! your chat window doesn't work

  • Rpsran RavinderPal Singh Sran (@Rpsran) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator So, its 24 hours since I complaint about my server going down. And now its about 2 hour passed since I reached you in Tweeter. Nothing has been done so far. The moment my server is up, I will migrate to some other hosting. You have offshore staff who is not competent.

  • Zen62com Zennie Abraham CEO ZENNIE62MEDIA INC (@Zen62com) reported

    @HGSupport Hello! "It will need to be tested in our environment before it can be made available," is completely wrong. HostGator has never reacted to a simple PhP upgrade this way. Given PhP's wide use, HostGator should have this done already, and not with this slow-rolling pace.

  • OzakaOne OzakaOne (@OzakaOne) reported

    @HGSupport Emails failing because shared hosting IP has been added to: UCEPROTECTL3 blacklist. HG support don't seem to understand the issue. "If you are on the UCEPROTECTL2/L3, you have an IP address from your ISP that falls into a poor reputation range. e.g. ISP hosts spammers"

  • IKnowSheTwitent Coach| Consultant|Graphics Design|Brander|Creator (@IKnowSheTwitent) reported

    So the horrific crap that GoDaddy pulled no I don't recommend them because HostGator did the same thing and one and one did the same thing and yes I am going to sue them all because years of Damages is not acceptable all of them better be shut down by next year

  • Rpsran RavinderPal Singh Sran (@Rpsran) reported

    @HostGator my server is down from past 24 hours. All i asked your support was to restart the server. Worst customer support ever. @HGSupport

  • monroeandco Monroe&Co. (@monroeandco) reported

    @HGSupport @HGSupport this doesn't work either... the chat window just stops receiving and sending msgs in private or normal browser window. please fix this issue!! it's impossible to receive support now

  • Marelisa Marelisa Fabrega (@Marelisa) reported

    @HostGator I was able to connect with someone and my problem has been solved. Thank you.

  • CynPriest Cynthia Priest (Chiew) (@CynPriest) reported

    @HGSupport Hey Hostgator, I need help with a URL that used to have an account with you. I volunteer for this preschool and am having troubles finding real answers and have been on hold for 31 minutes

  • DNAbeaniebaby sophia (@DNAbeaniebaby) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport extremely dissatisfied with your service. i've tried to sign up for your service TWICE, and both times have had my account immediately suspended. support was profoundly unhelpful and never resolved my issue.

  • IKnowSheTwitent Coach| Consultant|Graphics Design|Brander|Creator (@IKnowSheTwitent) reported

    I aired out GoDaddy because they were the third person that I went to when I have been through this with HostGator and one and one and you bet your bottom dollar all three registrars better be shut down especially GoDaddy they were my last resort and yes I'm suing

  • AGolfs18 Rafagolfs (@AGolfs18) reported

    @HostGator are you guys offline? My website isn't working and I'm not able to reach my dashboard. What's going on? #hostgator #issues

  • Marelisa Marelisa Fabrega (@Marelisa) reported

    Is anyone else having trouble with #hostgator? My blog has been down all day and now I can't get an agent to help me on the chat. @HostGator

  • spookyboorhodes Midnight Scares Podcast (@spookyboorhodes) reported

    @HGSupport I tried your chat system and no one gets back to me. I tried calling and just get bounced around. My SSL certs aren't working right when loading my website. It says pending and the refresh option is not working. Is there an issue? Thanks.
