  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.

  @HGSupport I asked your support agent to create a ticket for 4 times. Then she created it. Provide an easy option to create support ticket instead of a chat option

  @BigRock After Hostgator was migrated to Big Rock, service disruptions have become a daily affair during off peak hours. Support says process count exceeded 25, but doesn't give the exact cause of the downtime. Can you tell what's really happening?

  When looking to replace the dreadful @GoDaddy @GoDaddyHelp with a better company with better customer service, try out Bluehost SiteGround DreamHost HostGator HostPapa InMotion Hosting. You dont have to accept terrible customer service.

  @hostgatorindia All our websites hosted on #Hostgator are down for the last 45 minutes, and the support is hard to reach. After waiting in-line for over 20 minutes to reach chat support , the agent is totally unresponsive.

  @HGSupport Why is it impossible to get anything escalated to people who can actually help?

  @ionos_help_US I called support. They needed my ID and something else. Sadly, I ended up just using @HostGator which went right through and I was up with cpanel in less that 20 minutes.

  Wired, and Revenue magazine. Later on HostGator got a deal with Google to parter and offer free hosting with the ability to sign up for Free Hosting in Google’s India region. I was put in charge of theming the control panel. Google promoted it and it got 140,000 sign ups in the first month. Later on my friend sold the company for $300,000,000. When it sold my buddy promised me that he would buy me a house and I would have a good payout and I would be able to work with him as a non profit building water wells to people in need. Later when I thought I would get millions he only gave me $130,000 and then moved several hours out of town in the middle of no where on a big ranch. I was very mad at him at the time because not just because I didn’t get millions of dollars like my other friends who I helped start the company with but the $130,000 I couldn’t buy a home. I was contracted to help stay at the company for a year and help transition to the new ownership. I stayed and instead of having to answer to just the founder I all of a sudden had a whole ladder of executives above me telling me what I should work on instead of having the creative freedom to direct myself. Then the downsizing started to occur. The new ownership layed off entire departments of people to outsource their work to 3rd party companies. I saw all my friends get fired and they did this to improve their numbers because they were planning on bringing the company

  @HGSupport nearly 24 hours later and issue still not resolved, spoke to Agent Cherry today who had said sites should be ok by 8am. It’s now 8pm.

  Disappointed with @HostGator's customer support. No update on ticket S-2195876 after 5 days. Unprofessional compared to other hosting companies. #worstcustomerservice

  @HGSupport my sites are down because of your poor service over 24hours now. I have moved on to another host and it has been night and day between the 2 providers... all I got from you is to be strung along, probably went through at least 5 of your chatbots and it deteriorated each time

  @BigRock @hostgatorindia X HostGator → BigRock migration. Same email on both platforms = migration failed. Domains moved there, hosting stayed here. Now they want me to hand over hosting directly to clients. Not acceptable. Indian businesses deserve better service standards.

  HostGator support eventually confirmed it: “All outbound connections are blocked.” Yes. The server could not make outbound HTTPS requests (port 443). If you’re a dev, you already know: That breaks EVERYTHING.
