    @generouncambio @HGSupport We work to make sure that requested domains can be registered before charging. Unexpected barriers can arise after the request is made and we have to change course. If you have questions about the registration process, please contact our support team through your account portal.

    It very sad to know that a major server provider like @HostGator struggling to migrate it's own server date to new one even though target server is outdated and existing @cPanel vulnerability, i still doubt your support team even know about basic of blocking and whitelisting ip

    Matt Tankersley (@txtanks) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport WHY is your service so horrific!?!?!?!? Why do you have so many customers sites down for 10+ days AND you can’t provide timely support or committed chat/documentation follow-up. EVER! Never EVER use this org for anything!

  • DanMicovic
    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.

  • yourwebcoders
    Vrajesh Parekh (@yourwebcoders) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator Your inadequate support proved it is even worse, it took your team 8 days with 1 dozen of the contacts and tickets, I am your 15-year-old customer/reseller

  • DanMicovic
    Daniel Micovic (@DanMicovic) reported

    @Hostgator over 36 hours and no email or update, sites still down. Rep this morning cannot confirm who is or isn't on the list, as frontline reps have no access to the engineering team.

  • kishorksukumar
    Kishor K Sukumar (@kishorksukumar) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport Then please reply to the DM , My server is still down for 20 days now and no actual progress has been made till now @HGSupport

  • gregsaysso
    Greg Saysso 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇵🇸 (@gregsaysso) reported

    @HostGator @juanluis_JLP Yes, you've been experiencing widespread outages for almost two weeks now. Don't lie to this customer.

  • RadWebHosting
    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 ****!!!

  • Sleaklight
    Sleak (@Sleaklight) reported

    With @hgsupport now charging $2.99 for additional emails, I took the time to review my plan. I was on a business plan and wiped all old websites not in use and cut down on email accounts and will be able to downgrade to a hatchling account. Their increase turn into savings for me

  • Eder55164219
    Eder (@Eder55164219) reported

    @HostGator That's the problem, there's no way to contact them. send DM with case number

  • dadeze
    Daniel De la Cruz (@dadeze) reported

    @HostGator My server has been down for three weeks, and I still haven't received a response. They don't have any backups. I want to know if I should consider the data from my two accounts on the VPS lost.

  • DanMicovic
    Daniel Micovic (@DanMicovic) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport are hiding today...even escalated support is not responding...perhaps they finally gave up.

  • KarenLakeman
    Karen Lakeman (@KarenLakeman) reported

    terrible #CustomerService from @HGSupport today! @HostGator #CaveatEmptor if this organisation crashes your website they will blame you! #TheCustomerIsAlwaysWrong

  • okyall55
    OkYall (@okyall55) reported

    @HostGator their continued degrading services & cust svc continuous decline & sent me an email about no more unlimited emails with hosting. They're terrible customer service, they're terrible service offerings = @ionos_help_US @ 1/2 price & many more offerings.

  • GaslightMurder
    Murder by Gaslight. (@GaslightMurder) reported

    @HGSupport Isn't this the most basic function of your company? What is going on? When will it be fixed? Why is it so hard to get anyone to respond to problems?

  • PixelstechNet
    PixelsTech (@PixelstechNet) reported

    It seems our service provider @HostGator has some issue and our site is not able to access atm. Sorry for the inconvenience. Will try to get it back online soon. Thank you for your patience.

  • DanMicovic
    Daniel Micovic (@DanMicovic) reported

    At this point this is a @Hostgator issue exclusively, all other hosts have resolved their issues. There is a good chance that all of these sites have been wiped from their servers and are looking for an explanation that limits their liability. I have little hope that the sites will be restored. @HGSupport

  • NeumieAwards
    Neumie Awards (@NeumieAwards) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator my VPS has been up and down for almost five days now. Every chat session is "we know and we are working on it." Come on! What are you doing? I need this fixed

    Zennie Abraham ZENNIE62 #NFL #NFLDRAFT #SDCC #OAK (@ZennieAbraham62) reported

    So HostGator Support @HGSupport has someone who has elected to take on a CRIMINAL POSITION with respect to my company's server issue. This really is a job for the Department of Justice and Jeanine Pirro @JudgeJeanine to look into. I am sick and tired of this bad behavior. Say @NewfoldDigital we have a problem at HostGator.

  • HGSupport
    HostGator Support (@HGSupport) reported

    @ZennieAbraham62 @HostGator Thank you for the outreach. Support can assist with WP installs, login or admin access issues, installing, plugin and theme activation, plugin and theme errors conflicts and more. For other WP concerns beyond our scope try Pro Design Live subscriptions for personalized guidance.

    mgear (@unitycoder_com) reported

    @HostGator suddenly charged ~103% more for my website hosting, have used HG for 15 years, with about same price all the time.. now doing transfer to @Namecheap to try them instead! *with free migration service!

  • DanMicovic
    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.

    Maxitrol 🏝️✈️🥥 (@maxitrol_404) reported

    @NamecheapCEO Keep prices low! I switched to Namecheap from Hostgator because you are 3x cheaper at least. Also your support is great, don't replace it with AI

  • oshunu
    Oscar H (@oshunu) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGatorES I already sent them the message, I need help as soon as possible.

  • yourwebcoders
    Vrajesh Parekh (@yourwebcoders) reported

    @HostGator @ValeriaGadioli @HostGatorBrasil We have been using a VPS server and reseller hosting for the past 15 years, and recently one of our clients' domains was infected with malware. Instead of suspending that particular domain, they shut down the whole server. For the past 7 days, more than 50 sites are held hostage

  • kishorksukumar
    Kishor K Sukumar (@kishorksukumar) reported

    It's been 12 days now since my server gone down @HGSupport @HostGator no reply to the DM nor follow up mail for existing tickets and telling us our case in priority list and wait for infinite time without any estimate time #hostgatordown

    @kishorksukumar @HGSupport Same here with 96 hours without service is a bad service from @HGSupport

    @voytekbereza @HostGator Support quality matters just as much as uptime and pricing. Hoping this gets addressed quickly. Would appreciate an update from the team soon.
