  • HGSupport HostGator Support (@HGSupport) reported

    @LoveFarmOz @HostGator Hello Sophie, we're sorry to hear of the poor experience. Please send us a DM with your related ticket ID and domain we'd be more than happy to review the situation.

  • monroeandco Monroe&Co. (@monroeandco) reported

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

  • optwtn OP (@optwtn) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator @hostgatorindia Have already done that. Once the site was down (a client complained), spoke to tele support. They said some issue with server (I had to hold for 25 mins!) & sorted things out. After 15 mins, site was down again. So called again!

  • 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.

  • 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

  • MeccaGodZilla メカゴジラ🇭🇹🇧🇧 (@MeccaGodZilla) reported

    @HostGator / @HGSupport your customer service is next level. I cannot thank yall enough for everything you continue to do for your customers!

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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,

  • ColbyWTaylor Colby Taylor (@ColbyWTaylor) reported

    What is your go to #wordpress hosting? I attempted to branch out from DO and try bluehost- I had high expectations for a dedicated service but I think even hostgator had it more together😱 #hosting

  • 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.

  • RoduanKD Roduan Kareem Aldeen (@RoduanKD) reported

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

  • 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.

  • juliakolens Julia ✨ (@juliakolens) reported

    hostgator is extremely slow, if it’s not loading, just reload the page 😭

  • Ryancjames Ryan C. James (@Ryancjames) reported

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

  • optwtn OP (@optwtn) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator @hostgatorindia The attitude to such a critical #infrastructure service seems callous. My service is affected. I've got at least 4 site up & down reports from installed wordpress plugins all thru the day. Strange thing is the #hostgator team seems oblivious to this & no checks at their end?!

  • 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.

  • _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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • CaptainXDave Captain Dave 🏴‍☠️ (@CaptainXDave) reported

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

  • Marelisa Marelisa Fabrega (@Marelisa) reported

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

  • 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.

  • realest49919420 Texas Real Estate Investor (@realest49919420) reported

    @FGOABORG @girdley That explains Hostgator customer support then

  • 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
