True Signal Media (@TrueSignalMedia) reportedHey @HostGator — your “Live Chat” and “Support” links loop back to your own help page. I’ve got a valid SSL installed, DNS and Cloudflare set up correctly, but my site’s stuck in an HTTPS redirect loop (ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS). Your backend needs to resync the SSL vhost or restart Apache. Any chance someone competent can help me out today?

Zennie Abraham ZENNIE62 #SuperBowlLX #NFLDRAFT (@ZennieAbraham62) reported@HostGator Hi @HostGator and @HGSupport I am still in the chat and now for 29 minutes and not a single admin has come to see about my issue.
-
HostGator Support (@HGSupport) reported@DanMicovic @HostGator Thank you for continuing to stay in touch with us. If you have contacted support about this issue, then we have made sure that our engineers know that your account is affected.
-
Fabiyi | React | TypeScript (@script_codes) reported@MudiTheInvestor @myarmone @HostGator Tbh It’s also happens with network providers. Most people they have answering the calls don’t know or can’t really provide a solution to your problems. Many times where I had to insist on them transferring me to their superior.
-
Daniel Micovic (@DanMicovic) reported@HostGator @HGSupport we are now nearing 72 hours without access to our three sites. Zero e-mails updating the situation, daily support chats (whose transcripts are emailed), multiple PM with you on this platform...and nothing. It is time for HG to begin providing real answers beyond cut-and-paste ones.
-
HostGator Support (@HGSupport) reported@seanrogers8 @HostGator No need to worry, this is not a hack. DNS tools can show SPF/DKIM/DMARC records more than once when zones or hostnames overlap or if the browser has some caching issues. If you reach out to support, we can review your DNS directly and make sure everything is set correctly.
-
Misty Lake | Photographer (@Misty_Lake) reported@HGSupport I never had a free plan. The email address doesn't say HostGator or Gator in the domain.
-
Oscar H (@oshunu) reported@HGSupport @HostGatorES I already sent them the message, I need help as soon as possible.
-
Chris McElroy SEO (@seochrismcelroy) reported@hostgatorserver Nice that you don't provide any phone support at all for domain names. I selected domain name in the menu. The people on the phone said since I don't have hosting with you they can't help me and nobody can help on the phone only in live chat that keeps getting disconnected while I wait on someone. Good job hostgator!
-
Kishor K Sukumar (@kishorksukumar) reported@HostGator @HGSupport my server has been down for 6 Day now the thing is your team locked out the server ports due recent cpanel issue, but till now I didn't get any followup or solution from your team they tell me to wait for 24-48 hr everyday and then give no reply
-
Daniel Micovic (@DanMicovic) reported@Hostgator @HGSupport We are entering Week 2 without access to revenue producing websites and still no updates from "escalated support team". This is obviously beyond HG scope as no other hosts are still struggling with this issue. Unacceptable.
-
Artfool Politics (@artfoolpolitics) reported@HostGator @Trrance How about stop telling us how frustrating it is and actually do your freaking job and FIX IT????
-
Kishor K Sukumar (@kishorksukumar) reported@francojosephsd @HGSupport My server has been down for 8 days now and still no fix yet
-
Sleak (@Sleaklight) reportedAny we host recommendations? @hostgator now is going to limit how many email boxes we have and I want to jump ship. I only use it for email anyway as the sites there all got hacked and got no help from support.
-
Daniel Micovic (@DanMicovic) reported@HostGator @HGSupport entering day 6 without access to 3 revenue producing sites, and no one at HG has any answers, only cut-and-paste replies. Hearing nearly 50k sites still down and HG is recruiting help on Fiverr. Epic fail and clear signal that revenue producing sites cannot trust HG.
-
HostGator Support (@HGSupport) reported@viva_trista @HostGator Please be aware that you will be receiving an email from escalated support outlining your path forward. Once you receive that email, please respond as soon as possible.
-
Nes (@darthguero) reported@HGSupport @HostGator Absolutely horrible customer support. Gator AI told me a configuration was done and was not true. Tried email and it was rejected. Chats claimed my user ID was incorrect and unable to get it via email. Nothing ever came. Is this still a real company?
-
King Stanky (@TheKingOfStank) reported@MichaelFKane Time to set up your domain on a proxy that redirects traffic to a bunch of different services, 1 amazon, 1 hostgator, 1 idk something else. Then have them load distribute based on availability. You can never be too safe.
-
Zennie Abraham ZENNIE62 #NFL #NFLDRAFT #SDCC #OAK (@ZennieAbraham62) reported@HGSupport @NewfoldDigital I have emails from HostGator going back to 2010. I can show you many times HostGator Admins have done yeoman work in coding. I learned a lot from them. That should be your model, not this frankly lazy approach that HG has adopted. Make some coin and help your customers.
-
Rad Web Hosting (@RadWebHosting) reported@ZennieAbraham62 @HGSupport A better question is why does this process even require support, or for you to request it, then escalate your request? Automated SSL installs, renewals and replacements at $0 for life or ****!!!
-
Neumie Awards (@NeumieAwards) reported@HostGator I'm a reseller and all my customers' sites are STILL DOWN and where is the fix???
-
Zara_Schneider (@ZSchneider76107) reported@voytekbereza @HostGator Sounds like a deployment or script loading issue. This is where stable infrastructure and proper server setup really make a difference.
-
Sir Charles Cary (@SirCharlesCary) reported@HostGator @NewfoldDigital The overarching point is after 15 years and me choosing multiple years of service from you why is it that you simply cannot prorate the refund on unused time?
-
Kishor K Sukumar (@kishorksukumar) reportedDay 9 of my server being completely DOWN with @HostGator. 📉 Provided all details via DM as requested, still nothing. Tickets ACOM-3138 & E-518989 haven't seen an email update in over 60 hours. What does it take to get an actual resolution? @HGSupport
-
Rafael Polcaro (@rafaelpolcaro) reported@HostGator for the past 4 months my website was offline for about 7 days, the Brazilian branch of Hostgator sadly it’s terrible, I'm just a few hours from completing 48 hours offline. Seems nobody cares, never had a server provider like this. It takes days to get the website on
-
Aiden Fau (@AidenFau) reported@HostGator server is down for desktop app using mysql, cant connect
-
Fabiyi | React | TypeScript (@script_codes) reported@MudiTheInvestor @myarmone The first time I experienced true customer care was with @HostGator after suffering in the hands of WhoGoHost(a Nigerian hosting company)
-
HADESNYC®️ (@HADESNYC) reportedAbsolutely unacceptable @HGSupport @HostGator doesn't even let the customers know when there are server issues.
