  • jatin2180 J Patel (@jatin2180) reported

    @HGSupport hostgator live support is a biggest joke on earth. Dont get hosgator. Loosing business and customers since 1 week.

  • AtreyuLogan Atreyu Logan (@AtreyuLogan) reported

    @HostGator @RadioShack try better customer service instead of that being your joke...

  • jatin2180 J Patel (@jatin2180) reported

    @HGSupport #hostgatorscam. Never select your hosting service under hostgator. They kill my shared hosting package during their datacenter migration and since week all my websites are down. I did talk to hostgator svia email, chat, call atleast 15 times within 48 hours still down

  • keithlaw keithlaw (@keithlaw) reported

    @JakeMHS it's a @hgsupport issue, I need to switch hosting companyes. In the meantime, try on wifi. sorry

  • jackandkittyxo Kitty Norton & that guy (Jack) 😜 (@jackandkittyxo) reported

    Another day another time my website is down...all thanks to the totally unreliable host services of @HostGator - support on chat says they will connect in 5 minutes...I've been waiting for 30. Phone messages said I'd be called back in 7 minutes...it's been 30. This is so typical.

  • jackandkittyxo Kitty Norton & that guy (Jack) 😜 (@jackandkittyxo) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator I was on the phone for over an hour and hung up by your tech support. I have been a customer for years and will not tolerate the abuse. Disgusted !

  • Scionate Mike Slivinski (@Scionate) reported

    Looks like hostgator took down all 10 sites I have hosted with them indefinitely while migrating data centers. Any recommendations for a webhost?

  • jackandkittyxo Kitty Norton & that guy (Jack) 😜 (@jackandkittyxo) reported

    @skystracloud I have been a @HGSupport @HostGator customer for years and years but they clearly don't have tech support anymore...in fact they don't know how to recieve emails. So, yes...I'm all ears.

  • danmiami Danny Garcia (@danmiami) reported

    @HGSupport servers down? My domains are not working.

  • SchulerDesign Matt Schuler (@SchulerDesign) reported

    @HostGator Now on hour 30 of my VPS server being down for a “migration” they said would take 5-30min. I’ll hit social all day until you guys get things working over there.

  • yay_o1 Y (@yay_o1) reported

    @Hady14133508 @HostGator Thats how hostgator works do stuff without informing anyone and if something is broken on their end good luck getting it resolved. Moving to different host is your best bet.

  • DKMiller71 Darren Miller (@DKMiller71) reported

    @DanielB76985500 @HostGator Also having this issue

  • AidenFau Aiden Fau (@AidenFau) reported

    @HostGator @RadioShack servers down.......again

  • AtreyuLogan Atreyu Logan (@AtreyuLogan) reported

    @HostGator @RadioShack its more you dont see the thousands of people that rely on your service not only the person that is paying for the hosting.. but thousands of second life players have been affected not only the account holder by your lack of customer service!.

  • smmceachern S.M. McEachern (@smmceachern) reported

    My website is down, and quite possibly wiped out. Thanks @Hostgator

  • AtreyuLogan Atreyu Logan (@AtreyuLogan) reported

    @HostGator @RadioShack fix HTTP requests from PHP to Second Life, literally thousands upon thousands are having issues and pretty much saw the lack of response to the owner as he has to apologise on your behalf?

  • skystracloud Skystra Cloud (@skystracloud) reported

    @1000things_lady Oh sorry - I meant to say HostGator* account (not Bluehost) my bad! Let me ask that same question again - but properly :) - can you get into your cPanel on your *HostGator account? If you can, we can get you back online asap! Drop a line and let me know!

  • shaunoconnor1 Shaun O Connor (@shaunoconnor1) reported

    @Beruud Load time on all my Hostgator websites keeps changing between fast and unusably slow. Data centre migration was supposed to be finished by yesterday. @HGSupport @HostGator When will this be fixed? #Hostgator

  • DAMCoolers DAMCoolers (@DAMCoolers) reported

    @HGSupport Your server Migration Ends When exactly? 29th? Does that mean our website should be back up and running normally by Midnight? Please answer! We have lost money on this major F'up. All ads and lead gen are down because - NO Reliable site for 5 days going on 6 now!

  • CryptoRODT Who Cares (@CryptoRODT) reported

    @HostGator wth are you ppl doing migrations in the middle of the day without any advance notice? my website has been down all day w no ETA to restore! Others have been down for days....

  • gabriellefsu Gabrielle (@gabriellefsu) reported

    @HostGator SUCKS. @HGSupport sucks. 4 days with no email and now my website is down, too? I understand problems with migration, but I paid to have an upgraded VPS, and I'm getting excuse after excuse with support now saying wait 24 more hours. NOOOO! #scam #badcustomerservice

  • 1000things_lady Lady Mary (@1000things_lady) reported

    @HostGator Content marketing only works if you have good services. Maybe you should fix your migration issues customers like me are having??

  • jackandkittyxo Kitty Norton & that guy (Jack) 😜 (@jackandkittyxo) reported

    @HGSupport Can you answer why @HostGator hung up on me after over an hour on the phone ? Can you answer why I have been on chat with tech support all day and still have not gotten any answers or help ?

  • DAMCoolers DAMCoolers (@DAMCoolers) reported

    @HGSupport I have messaged your dm. FIX THIS!

  • Beruud Jay Zippo (@Beruud) reported

    @shaunoconnor1 @HGSupport @HostGator Sent an email 5 minutes ago to two other accounts I don't have with Hostgator and they still have not showed up. So yeah looks to be having issues.

  • apougher apougher (@apougher) reported

    @AppleSupport @SparkPost Responses, tests and examples from #sparkpost and #hostgator on the blocking of images in HTML emails currently point to Apple as the cause of issue. We are still awaiting any feedback support from Apple techs. Developers are welcome to reach out to me for details.

  • peelarat Peelarat (@peelarat) reported

    @HGSupport I used hostgator for years spend alot of money until they sent me email to reduce bandwidth. Worst company stopped my site . Now I run my own server .. crooks

  • DAMCoolers DAMCoolers (@DAMCoolers) reported

    @HostGator Your server migration is being handled extremely poorly. Our site has been epileptic for days now, and thats when its not completely down. Customers calling and emailing to ask how they can purchase. Partners are confused, thinking we are out of business #HostGatorGate

  • MissKomputer Alice Kupara (@MissKomputer) reported

    @HGSupport Already replied to email from April to no avail hence reaching out here @HGSupport . A new support person has just got in touch via DM. Let’s see how we get on. Not happy.
