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server provider like @HostGator struggling to migrate it's own server date to new one even though target server is outdated and existing @cPanel vulnerability, i still doubt your support team even know about basic of blocking and whitelisting ip

  @ronimartinezz @HostGator From the screenshot, it looks like you are having trouble logging in to your account to cancel. If that's the case, send us a DM so we can get you verified and assist.

  @DanMicovic @HostGator Not a single email has been sent to me since last week to let me know what is going on. For me, it's been two days (2 chat sessions and 3 phone calls at various times). The only email I received was last week telling me that our server had been patched and I didn't need to take any action. Then, a few days later, I woke up to our sales guys and editors asking why all of our sites are down. Tomorrow I will be looking at migration options.

  Ah @HostGator broke all my websites, I know they're fire fighting to patch security which is fair enough and I've been patient hoping it'll resolve itself, it hasn't. Really grating is @HGSupport making up absolute nonsense and blaming all my sites being broken on "malware" 🙄🥱

  @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.

  @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!

  @HGSupport @HostGator @HGSupport "Updates will be emailed"? You haven't sent an email update in over 60 hours! 9 days of downtime with absolutely zero ETA is a massive failure. As a system administrator, I know this level of outage is unacceptable. Stop stalling and restore my server.

  Absolutely unacceptable @HGSupport @HostGator doesn't even let the customers know when there are server issues.

  @DanMicovic @HGSupport @HostGator That’s rough, 2 weeks with no access is unacceptable, especially for email and client sites. You may want to start looking at alternatives like Fresh Roasted Hosting. Their support is much more responsive, and the uptime has been solid in my experience.

  @YoungbloodJoe @HostGator I know how to build and configure a Linux server from the kernel on up. I'm very comfortable with the terminal and how a VPS works, however, I would never put a client on a VPS unless they had an in-house IT person or an IT budget to keep up with constant maintenance.

  @HGSupport @HostGator still no follow up and telling me to wait until server is enabled then they will proceed with migration and the worst part is there is no Estimate time when will that happen Currently i got the same answer for 6 days repeatedly

  @HGSupport @HostGator week 2 of server being down and zero access to my sites or emails. Escalated support has stopped responding, no updates on open tickets and zero responses from support here. Has @HostGator given up?

  @YoungbloodJoe @HostGator hahaha - host gator sucks ***, we moved from them to inmotion very early on. And if you got indians doing any sort of migration you are going to have to get a US based dev involved for sure.
