    @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?

  • bobmagicii bob.php (@bobmagicii) reported

    @donatj yeah. i redid a website for a non prof and the old hosting finally got shut down. but i had no idea hostgator was doing email too that made no sense to me. and all the alternatives pretty sure cost more than the AIO hostgator package did.

  • kevinlocsin Kevin Locsin (@kevinlocsin) reported

    Another day of @HostGator email and websites being down for no reason 🤬

  • MLTTechnologies Tom Cuneo (@MLTTechnologies) reported

    @KalabashT @WarpOneTravel @HostGator Yup - 11 years here, 132 sites were down without warning. That is about 120 business owners pissed and losing money every minute it was down. They do not care for our losses one bit.

  • 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.

  • iampankajkum pankaj kumar (@iampankajkum) reported

    @GoDaddy @GoDaddyHelp @HostGator Pathetic service by GoDaddy I have my email id phone number linked but still not able to login. 2 factor authentication never sends OTP. They create multiple customer ID with same email id and create login issue. Not able to login to domain acnt.

  • 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

  • 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

  • karan_gadhavi Karan Gadhavi (@karan_gadhavi) reported

    Never trust #hostgator support @HostGator Fraud #poorservice

  • 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

  • JamesWinTime James V. (@JamesWinTime) reported

    @marouane_rhafli @HostGator Our company site went offline today & has been down all day. No warning, no info, just repeated excuses about "planned" maintenance. It's not planned if you don't inform the customers ahead of time. Refusal to do anything. Meanwhile, we are out of jobs. #consequences #hostgator

  • karan_gadhavi Karan Gadhavi (@karan_gadhavi) reported

    @HostGator sucks!

  • 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?

  • karan_gadhavi Karan Gadhavi (@karan_gadhavi) reported

    It has been 2 days sites are down but no one is giving a proper reply on @HostGator If your website is business-critical move away or ready to learn a hard lesson. #Hosting #WordPres

  • Marlex Patrick D'appollonio (@Marlex) reported

    @HostGator my father-in-law almost got scammed/identity-theft'd by 2 web properties hosted in your company, and almost being part of a money laundering scheme. We're reporting it to the police, but is there any place to report them to you directly so they can be taken down?

  • KalabashT Kalabash (@KalabashT) reported

    @HostGator Apparently you migrating me to a new server. Why did you not let me know? Why have my sites been DOWN for days now? This is not the service I'm used to with you. My clients are complaining. Do you NOT care about your customers anymore? @HGSupport @NewfoldDigital #FAIL

  • 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?

  • yatix25 Yatix (@yatix25) reported

    @HGSupport WHM is down, is there any maintenance going on or is it just me?

  • 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

  • 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

  • ReddWrite Greg Redd (@ReddWrite) reported

    Been trying to get @HostGator’s @HGSupport to tell me why I cannot access the settings for my Primary Domain in my Customer Portal for over a month now. “There was an error loading this domain. Please try again later or contact support for assistance.” Utterly useless.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • RSSDMG RSS Digital Marketing Group (@RSSDMG) reported

    @HostGator - planned but unannounced server migration has taken all my websites down since 12:45 ET today - 4.5 hours of service interruption with no indication from support on when it will be finished. Unacceptable!

  • Sathe2Datta Sathe Dattatraya (@Sathe2Datta) reported

    @HostGator very slow server and worst support. #server

  • Xevious ゼビウス (@Xevious) reported

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

  • jeremiahstweets Jeremiah Lloyd Johnson (@jeremiahstweets) reported

    On the phone with #liquidweb support again... It's like talking to children when you first call in. Reminds me of when HostGator when to **** in the first days. Customer Service is OFF THE HOOK bad #liquidweb. Your "senior techs" aka, normal techs... Are great. Ur Call Takers F-

  • 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?
