  • oxign Steve (@oxign) reported

    @PokerDe4s @HostGator @HGSupport It’s beyond ridiculous buddy. I actually spoke to a senior support person and he said he honestly could not give me a time for when this migration will be completed.

  • MrMiller23 Mr. M (@MrMiller23) reported

    Fingers crossed. After multiple calls/chats with @HostGator support, I *think* I found the person who can help. I need to work a few things out but I finally found someone who understands my questions. I think.

  • splatteredink Darryl T. Jones (@splatteredink) reported

    @HGSupport It's not a recommendation. It's a requirement if you want to keep me as a customer.

  • GauravG985 Gaurav Gupta (@GauravG985) reported

  • oxign Steve (@oxign) reported

    @splatteredink @HostGator Agree, **** has hit the fan. Speaking to other web developers etc. and no one has ever heard of such an event. The blatant dishonesty is extraordinary.

    @HGSupport @splatteredink Hello, that is not acceptable! You need to provide an ETA for my website, specifically! We are down for over 30 hours!!

  • splatteredink Darryl T. Jones (@splatteredink) reported

    @oxign @HostGator And I've been with hostgator for like 10 years. They've never done this _smoke & mirrors_ avoid the question customer service before. Transparency is key man. If there's a problem, tell me and we'll deal with it. But right now, I can only assume @HostGator is hiding something.

  • oxign Steve (@oxign) reported

    @PokerDe4s @HostGator @HGSupport 48 hours for us! In a few hours my clients will have hundreds of employees expecting to access their email. And all we get from Hostgator is “it will be up in 1-2 hours. In 40 years of using different ISP’s I have never encountered anything as irresponsible or inept as this.

  • splatteredink Darryl T. Jones (@splatteredink) reported

    @HGSupport Why haven't you updated the forum post? I've been told I can get "real time" updates there... right now it feels like you're hiding the problem. That is only making it worse. My partner has already contacted another hosting company to move to.

  • PokerDe4s Porra (@PokerDe4s) reported

    @HGSupport We kwow that, hostgator say this a lot of times on tickets but the service still offline. Hostgator notice us the service will be out for one or two hours but now 40 hs offline, unbelive.

    HEY @HGSupport you all broke my blog operation! FIX IT!!

  • oxign Steve (@oxign) reported

    @splatteredink @HostGator “However, if there was a severe issue, this is something we would have provided immediately” Hostgator, and customer servers being down 48 hours is not severe? Unbelievable!!!
