Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • harishb1981 Harish Baghel (@harishb1981) reported from New Delhi, National Capital Territory of Delhi

    @hostgatorindia @HostGator Though issue is resolved still I need to monitor further. Will update if any issue faced.

  • hollyrlandis Holly Landis (@hollyrlandis) reported

    @CatCrawf Avoid Hostgator at all costs, never had anything but issues with them for myself & clients. Bluebottle were fairly decent when I used them a couple of years ago.

  • SerAvium_Twitch SerAvium (@SerAvium_Twitch) reported

    @MattRPD @streamlabs @TwitchUKI I went through Namecheap, HostGator, Cloudflare, and Wordpress but you'd have to build it on your own or invest in someone to build it for you. It can be a bit expensive to get started, but the upkeep isn't bad if you go long-term (every 10 years).

  • ernanif Nan_ (@ernanif) reported

    @HostGator why you guys putting the service quality down after a month of services? Pretty awful to have simple website do spend 45 secs to load! What is going on?!

  • SimCoder_here 〈 simcoder /〉 (@SimCoder_here) reported

    If all you do is one thing (in this case hosting servers) you should at least try and be good at it. I chose @HostGator precisely to not have to deal with problems like this, incredibly disappointed.

  • ZennieAAbraham Zennie Abraham CEO Zennie62Media, Inc. / Zennie62 (@ZennieAAbraham) reported

    Rather than help me @HGSupport has sent nasty email after nasty email explaining why they basically can't - even though I am paying for the service.

  • ecarlesi Emiliano Carlesi (@ecarlesi) reported

    Possible threat on hxxp://cambo-service[.]com/stock[.]zip #phishing #opendir #hostgator

  • TheAllanMuir Allan “Podfather” Muir (SPSalvation/AspieGamer) (@TheAllanMuir) reported

    Hey @HGSupport I’ve been unable to login to the portal since 8:30 PM last night due to “connection time out” errors. Please help.

  • HoltTrains Holt Training Inst. (@HoltTrains) reported

    @HostGator I need to go back to @webdotcom I never had these problems. I switched because my domains are banked with you. What mistake

  • TheRealSlyFox Slfxvb (@TheRealSlyFox) reported

    @HostGator @weebly count your days! For the last 2 weeks I have been waiting for you to fix this glitch that prohibits me from editing my site. Do you understand how PROBLEMATIC that is?!? You haven’t offered me a single work around & I’ve had to be the 1 to reach out each time!

  • cyclingbetting Ian (@cyclingbetting) reported

    Thanks for all the messages re. the website being down, trying to sort it. Hostgator fkd up my domain renewal and are trying to sort it. Hope to be up & running soon though. I won't be running a subscription service for the Tour though, don't have time and baby due in a month!

  • almasmlk Almas Malik (@almasmlk) reported

    thanks for the harrasment @HostGator @HGSupport @hostgatorindia Will be taking legal actions against you. Pathetic service & support.

  • PixelChefs Alex Alexakis (@PixelChefs) reported

    @YoungbloodJoe I understand that HostGator is not the best choice for hosting, but it's not horrible, we have clients with sites hosted in HostGator that load in 1-2 secs on 3g network. Want to truly destroy your site try GoDaddy hosting.

  • kkirkland1977 Kevin Kirkland #BLM #AlphabetEnforcer (@kkirkland1977) reported

    Does anyone have experience with getting a website taken down for violating the host company's T&C. Specifically HostGator. #LoveIsLove

  • franklyankish A n k i s h (@franklyankish) reported

    @HGSupport I don't need an explanation, I need a cancellation and refund for a domain for which I am charged, but never gave the consent or willing to hold the domain.

  • Asinox J. M³ Calcaño (@Asinox) reported

    @HostGator WTF is happening with your chat support??

  • ellenspertus Ellen Spertus (@ellenspertus) reported

    @ionos_com @HostGator I ended up going with @HostGator. Although they were never able to tell me why I wasn't receiving their PIN reset emails, their phone support was excellent and I believe I've migrated everything successfully.

  • XanderSoldaat Xander Soldaat (@XanderSoldaat) reported

    @HostGator I started using vim since 94, and have ever since, but that's only because I never figured out how to exit it. (just kidding, I love vim)

  • WALTAWILSON Warren Wilson (@WALTAWILSON) reported

    @HostGator so im being scammed by Hostgators support in the east, a tech scam by a company based in Texas....

  • shishtawi Malik Shishtawi مالك ششتاوي (@shishtawi) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport very disappointed for realizing today that i was charged a whole year for a service that I never used the amount of 20$ with my knowledge or even an email to inform me or confirm my subscription!

  • Kod_ange1 Kod_ange (@Kod_ange1) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator I signed up for your service and continuously received bad service which made me take up the 45 days cancellation with refund. It has been 5 weeks since I cancelled and the refund has still not been effected. How far can this #HostgatorBadService go?

  • HoltTrains Holt Training Inst. (@HoltTrains) reported

    Yet again - @HostGator your system has a bug in the system….#33211949 and my site down. Again, it’s a billing issue. I happily use @QuickBooks. Your rep said he’s never seen this problem….my 3rd time.

  • nyonimkata Mkata Ndomondo (Babu) (@nyonimkata) reported

    @HostGator A year has been so tough, Hostgator support is going down everyday. One website in my dedicated had issues, you restricted access to entire server asking me to rectify, i replied back 10 hours back, but nothing from your side and server is down, i chat with support but no help

  • burningvi0lence Aaron (@burningvi0lence) reported

    @HostGator how about your fix your servers that are down instead of posting garbage to social media. just a thought.

  • AlexisH82746482 Alexis Huffman (@AlexisH82746482) reported

    I always encounter issues when trying to solve a technical issue with @HostGator @HGSupport. They seem to just outsource Support to people who have no idea what they are doing.

  • kkirkland1977 Kevin Kirkland #BLM #AlphabetEnforcer (@kkirkland1977) reported

    Does anyone have experience with getting a website taken down for violating the host company's T&C. Specifically HostGator. It might be a long shot but I can't stand in the heat and protest so you do what you can.

  • hostgatorindia HostGator India (@hostgatorindia) reported

    @sahilgoyal786 @HostGator Hey Sahil, we're sorry for the delay in resolution. We assure you our senior teams are actively working towards a fix. As soon as the issue is resolved they shall update the forum. Once again, we sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused to you.

  • BOOMBound 💥BOOM Bound (@BOOMBound) reported

    I’m facing an issue where the #unity desktop app doesn’t support #Firebase. So I’ll have to write REST APIs in WordPress. I haven’t done it yet, so I am trying it out and have to check with #hostgator. So depending on the solution I come up with, this might be a little delayed.

  • JOInstructions ******* Instructions (@JOInstructions) reported

    @HoltTrains @HostGator @QuickBooks Yeah I’m having a problem with their billing too.

  • ZennieAAbraham Zennie Abraham CEO Zennie62Media, Inc. / Zennie62 (@ZennieAAbraham) reported

    @EthaanJack Suggestions? @HGSupport writes me as if they do not want to fix their own server.
