    @HGSupport A week without any response. Move our services to another hosting of refund the money! No more waste of time with you. We experience that issue from October. Move our services now: Support Ticket Hostgator: 46227447.

  • wordpressdotcom WordPress.com (@wordpressdotcom) reported

    @foerster_bryan Apologies; these tweets slipped through the cracks. It looks like your site uses @WordPress with @Hostgator. You might try to narrow down which plugin/theme is causing maintenance mode to trigger; maybe update one at a time? Get backups first, too.

  • AcademicoIO Académico I/O (@AcademicoIO) reported

    @HostGator still offers the obsolete PHP 7.4 in their web hosting plans, and resists upgrading to PHP 8.x! That's too bad!

  • HGSupport HostGator Support (@HGSupport) reported

    @FeoAmante @HostGator @GoDaddy Hello, we are sorry for the inconvenience caused to you. If you are facing any outstanding issues, send us a DM along with email address and ticket number so we can look into it?

  • OnionfarmsMedia Kenneth Erwin Engelhardt (@OnionfarmsMedia) reported

    We will make a comeback. The problem we are having seems to be beyond the scope of what HostGator technical support can typically fix. I have connections with Developers who can help me on this.

  • Beruud Jay Zippo (@Beruud) reported

    Great @HostGator is down. Hopefully for not too long. :(

  • imArshit Arshit (@imArshit) reported

  • gardencadet 🌱 selphie @ trabia garden 🌱 (@gardencadet) reported

    Hostgator has been having issues for the past several days... I really need to figure out where to migrate all of my sites.

  • jasminelukuku Jasmine Lukuku (@jasminelukuku) reported

    @HostGator Can you give me the hours back that I spent waiting for return phone calls that never came?

  • KingRockLaw Julie King (@KingRockLaw) reported

    @HGSupport Are your hosting services down? ALL of my websites are refusing to load.

  • Lord__Dawn LordDawn (@Lord__Dawn) reported

    Hey @HGSupport are you having issues? Can't login to the portal and my sites are down.

  • awad__haj Awad Haj (@awad__haj) reported

    me: not specific, just estimated time. @HostGator : sorry we can't bcause many departments are involve in the issue. me: open time? tell me how much i will have to wait, one day, one month, one year? @HostGator : i understand your concern, but i can not give time.😡

  • obsver38_1 Night_Watchman (@obsver38_1) reported

    @HostGator When are we going to be able to regain access? It appears your server is down?

  • heymusafir 🌾 (@heymusafir) reported

    @HGSupport @KingRockLaw Hi, one of my webs are down to a few minutes ago. Is it just me or?

  • foerster_bryan Cosmic-books 🇨🇦 (@foerster_bryan) reported

    @wordpressdotcom @WordPress @HostGator Doesn't matter which one I try to backup, as soon as I press a backup, down she goes. I'll try the forum thanks, then it's I guess I hire someone.

  • FeoAmante Feo Amante 🇺🇦 (@FeoAmante) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator @GoDaddy I was on chat. I never got a ticket number. In both cases, after their whacky requests "Could you please try another Internet provider?" (Who pays for multiple providers? Where?) Then they'd "be right back" and let the chat room time out in 10 minutes.

  • htregoning Harry Tregoning (@htregoning) reported

    Just wishing @HostGator and the @hostgator support actually helped.

  • jasminelukuku Jasmine Lukuku (@jasminelukuku) reported

    The winner of worst customer service I've ever had the displeasure of dealing with is @HostGator. They missed every follow up deadline they set for themselves. They promised me calls that never came. They never shared notes so I had to explain everything over and over.

  • HGSupport HostGator Support (@HGSupport) reported

    @FeoAmante @HostGator @GoDaddy We are sorry to know that. Send us a DM with email address and the details of the issue. We will check on it and try assist you further.

  • burumanet Buruma (@burumanet) reported

    Recommendations for competitive and reliable hosting companies? Looking for an established company that has been around a while (at least 10 years) and BBB accredited. Looking to jump ship from @HostGator @HGSupport by next week if they don't sort out their server issues.

  • griduino Barry K7BWH (@griduino) reported

    @K3TripleR @HostGator @HGSupport HostGator is owned by the same guys that acquired Bluehost in 2022. Bluehost sucks. They regularly crashed my website on Thursdays at 1:40 am. I moved to Ion Blade.

  • TheCozyCoder Dani.B (@TheCozyCoder) reported

    Which reminds me that my first Tech job I worked at Hostgator as a support person or whatever that title is and how much of my day was just fixing Wordpress sites because broken plugins. 🥴

  • HostGator HostGator (@HostGator) reported

    @burumanet @HGSupport Hi Buruma, we are sorry to hear you are having issues with your website. Can you send us a DM, so we can check the status of your ticket?

  • FlavioLuccisano FLAVIO LUCCISANO ルチサーノ・フラビオ (@FlavioLuccisano) reported

    @HostGator has been charging my card two times for services I cancelled one year ago, I tried to get in touch with them and it's impossible, their virtual chat is a joke, horrible service.

  • thedinoisland TheDinoIsland (@thedinoisland) reported

    @imArshit @HostGator To be honest, I've been getting 500 internal server errors. One rep said it was rare, but I've been getting it pretty consistently and it's not just me. On top of that I purchase an entire year of service to replace my old package & a phone rep charged me 13.99 after the call.

  • K3TripleR K3RRR (@K3TripleR) reported

    @SoberHam @HostGator @HGSupport Thanks Dave… There are on my shortlist although I've been told they are owned by the same company that operates HostGator which is a huge concern by itself but I'm doing my drill down today to make a final decision in the next couple of hours…Thanks for taking time to respond!

  • MidvanaGroup Midvana (@MidvanaGroup) reported

    @skystracloud my issue is still same not resolved yet still we are facing server down issue too many times in a day @hostgatorindia @HostGator

  • BrigBurton Brig A. Burton (@BrigBurton) reported

    @HostGator - my websites have been down now for 2 days due to your incompetent tech team messing them up. Still no answers. Sites still down. Unable to get a competent tech on the phone for 2 days! #badbusiness

  • n4_but N4BUT (@n4_but) reported

    @K3TripleR @HostGator @HGSupport DO is good but I found that most hosting services have bad reputation IPs for email. There’s ways around that but again I self host on my work fiber connection gig symmetrical. Got lucky they let me do it. I share my service with them and they save money. I’ve been there 20…

    If @HostGator refuses to respect the right to be forgotten, anyone can help with #gdpr rights? #righttobeforgotten
