  • eliffio Eliffio Rodríguez (@eliffio) reported

    @HGSupport Hey there. It's been almost 5 days with emails bouncing from Hotmail/Outlook. Now the server IP is listed on UCEProtect as well. Some user in the server is sending spam and we are facing the consequences. HELP please! Ticket #44381095

  • ZuccThis zucc_this (@ZuccThis) reported

    @chairmanwon @HostGator Had issues with a site a month or so ago (Hostgator) and was told it was malware. A tech was supposed to email me within 12 hours but didn't. Hopped back into a chat & got lucky with a super competent person who was able to quickly fix my problem. They said there was no malware.

  • SayemIbn Sayem Ibn Kashem (@SayemIbn) reported

    @HGSupport Your affiliate support team is the worst! I emailed them 1 day ago and there is no replay yet! You are not fixing the issue.

  • AffiliatesWatch The Affiliate Watch (@AffiliatesWatch) reported

    @ImAnthonyDaniel As much as GoDaddy sucks, it's quite possible that HostGator sucks even more, they'd probably do the same thing or worse, get your site hacked and do nothing about it. Pick a better company, not ones pushed by affiliates or marketers.

  • HGSupport HostGator Support (@HGSupport) reported

    @MLMonicaAleman @HostGator Hi! We certainly want to help, looks like an updated response was sent regarding what's needed, and ensuring your Portal and billing are up to date. We are having your case checked out further. Please send us a DM if you have any more questions. Thanks!

  • GrangeWeb Kieran (@GrangeWeb) reported

    Hostgator support basically fobbing me off with BS at the moment - extremely frustrating

  • lguirock Guilherme (@lguirock) reported

    @HostGator Yeah? What's going on over there today? All of my sites are down, and support is not contactable.

  • Mr_Cortexiphan Massimiliano Poretti (@Mr_Cortexiphan) reported

    Hi @HostGator I’ve opened 9 support tickets. If you type my website address another one shows up. It seems you installed a wrong ssl. Tech support asked me the same things every time but no one is capable to solve. The case has been escalated. Now what?Should I change provider?

  • SKridera ducky (@SKridera) reported

    Again down! Why???? I will cancel it! #hostgator

  • EnergonBrain Energon Brain (@EnergonBrain) reported

    @HostGator Yeah? What's going on over there today? All of my sites are down, and support is not contactable.

  • OkuyasuStand Okuyasu the Hand (@OkuyasuStand) reported

    @BronsonOQuinn @HGSupport Sorry. I didn’t see this till now. Says service maintenance. However, the non planned nature of it and the length of time probably says something blew up in their face

  • kennedycatering Chef Matthew Kennedy (@kennedycatering) reported

    @HostGator your sever was down again... emails bouncing back or delayed by hours sometimes days... please do not ask me to DM you with my issues just like every other posts... please provide an update... this is ridiculous

  • kennedycatering Chef Matthew Kennedy (@kennedycatering) reported

    @HostGator @TraderScooter @c3names your sever was down again... client emails bouncing back or delayed by hours sometimes days... please do not ask me to DM you with my issues just like every other post... please provide an update... this is ridiculous

  • JuanFco_cc Juan francisco (@JuanFco_cc) reported

  • RadiantLiving_ Chanelle Washington (@RadiantLiving_) reported

    @SquarespaceHelp @HGSupport still need help with DNS records. Site not pointing correctly.

  • gareththomasnz gareththomasnz 😇🚀👽(Godlike/Immortal) (@gareththomasnz) reported

    My Hostgator security issue is nearly fixed - but there is still one big problem which may be a back door

  • MikeMangold17 Mike Mangold (@MikeMangold17) reported

    @HostGator I have been waiting for 5 days for an admin to delete a pending transfer. What a joke of a company 5 days!! No Email because I can't change name servers because of a pending transfer. I never received the acknowledged!!!! Admin do your job and fix the issue

  • mindlnsky Kev (@mindlnsky) reported

    @NEACETWEETS @HostGator Netlify, and Gatsby Cloud are the ones I can recommend at the moment, nice customer care too, I think namecheap is ok but i haven't used their services professionally

  • gamiparesh5 Paresh Gami (@gamiparesh5) reported

    @HGSupport Your support team are not responding. Your server is down and customers complaining about this. Server problem happens very frequent now days.!

  • ImAnthonyDaniel Anthony Daniel (@ImAnthonyDaniel) reported

    @GoDaddyHelp Why? Your site is dog ****. I'm already looking at ordering at @HostGator

  • diglactic Diglactic (@diglactic) reported

    @OkuyasuStand @HostGator Same here, looks like another outage...

  • AffiliatesWatch The Affiliate Watch (@AffiliatesWatch) reported

    @josephmwood Any savvy WordPress guru would definitely tell you to stay far, far away from HostGator. They are horrible. If not long contracts, expect malware, downtime and minimal service. Don't listen to any affiliates or paid marketers. They just want commission. Buyer beware and be smart.

  • eliffio Eliffio Rodríguez (@eliffio) reported

    @HGSupport Hello. Is someone actually working on this? It has been ONE WEEK you can't fix something as simple as delisting an IP from Hotmail's blacklist. Is that such a hard task for your whole support team?

  • stevebrazill Steve Brazill (@stevebrazill) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport has become so bad. Email issues last week and I was told “they’re aware of issues on some reseller servers and are working on it, could be 48-72 hours.” Today, again, I’m unable to send or receive emails. A move back to @inmotionhosting may be next.

  • Marshmallow_WP Marshmallow (@Marshmallow_WP) reported

    @NEACETWEETS @HostGator I’ve had horrible experience with Bluehost, Hostgator, and JustHost. I switched over to @NameHerocom and highly recommend their services. Great, responsive customer service, and their servers are quick and reliable . They are who I use for offering hosting to my customers.

  • MikeMangold17 Mike Mangold (@MikeMangold17) reported

    @HGSupport I have been waiting 5 days with no email because I canceled a do.ain transfer from New host. I have chatted multiple times with no help. I have a escalated ticket and still no help. This is not hard and should not take this long!!!!

  • javidrashid7 javid rashid (@javidrashid7) reported

    @HostGator my vps server down again for 7 hours now ans support tells migration process going on , my emails are down

  • c3names Felipe Castro (@c3names) reported

    @HostGator My website has been down for more than an hour. Yesterday was the same. I don't have access to my cpanel.

  • tobyw7 Toby David White 🇪🇺🇩🇪🇬🇧🇺🇦 (@tobyw7) reported

    @HGSupport @eliffio 👋 I’m seeing the same problem. 192.185.145.24 is on a blocklist
