Hostgator Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • HomobotsTales QueerFox Tales (aka Homobot's Tales) (@HomobotsTales) reported

    @HonestPassion13 Else for paid hosting: GoDaddy had amazing service when I used them. Worth the cost if you struggle with website tech. HostGator is cheaper but they're pulling crap on me now. I'm looking at Orange Hosting (?) now.

  • AnkitSh76072709 Ankit Sharma (@AnkitSh76072709) reported

    @HostGator Worst service provider, I have a WHM panel with 26 accounts and emails are not working from 5-6 days and support keeps on saying "our server team is working and is not providing any ETA"...#hostgator_worst_service, #hostgatorWorstSupport

  • NRombiola Nicolas Rombiola (@NRombiola) reported

    @HostGator the problem continues...

  • theteacherin207 Nick Miller (@theteacherin207) reported

    @HGSupport Apparently, this was a planned migration, but @hostgator forgot to tell those most impacted by the event. I received no notification. I am being told we'll be down for 48 hours. Lame.

  • renoseoexpert Sandy Rowley (@renoseoexpert) reported

    @skystracloud thanks so much. The SSL issue is server issue, not a user issue. :) #ssl #seo #hostgator

  • SteveCinq Steven Cinquegrana (@SteveCinq) reported

    @MAJORFLAREMEDIA @HostGator Btw they just want you to dm to take your problem out of public view. I fell for it.

  • mhmdalmsmm1 محمد العراقي (@mhmdalmsmm1) reported

    @HGSupport Why is the chat on the site not working?

  • knavethemage David Madison (@knavethemage) reported

    After 2 or 3 years, I was finally able to cancel my account with Hostgator. The website doesn't work, STILL; and they admit they are aware of this on their automated line; but the phone number on the website works. I spoke with a woman calling herself Nova, I think.

  • JDuvillard JP Duvillard (@JDuvillard) reported

    @HostGator your shared host has been down for 9 hours, we have lost an entire day of business and still no explanation apart from "this is a planned migration". Not planned at all, we didn't even get notified

  • OnionfarmsMedia Kenneth Erwin Engelhardt (@OnionfarmsMedia) reported

    Onionfarms is temporarily down. Contacting HostGator right now to resolve the issue.

  • AerisLee669 Samuel Lee (@AerisLee669) reported

    @HostGator Move your site. Save yourself the stress of thinking they’ll fix anything. Hostgator used to be very good. Now they just milk cash while they can.

  • renoseoexpert Sandy Rowley (@renoseoexpert) reported

    @HostGator How can we get ahold of tech support? The phone system says 90 minutes, but keeps dropping our calls. The chat function for support never loads.

  • NRombiola Nicolas Rombiola (@NRombiola) reported

    @hostgator No emails, no Cpanel, no Websites... 5 hs all down

  • SteveCinq Steven Cinquegrana (@SteveCinq) reported

    @HGSupport No, you’re really not. You screwed our email and ftp access two DAYS ago and wasted my time in a twitter convo then some new idiot created a case and some other idiot will say, “So what seems to be the problem?”. Hopeless hopeless company.

  • knavethemage David Madison (@knavethemage) reported

    With the financial difficulty concerning Hostgator out of the way - charging me every year about $100+ for a service they no longer provided me... I'm able to focus on my Wix website I started building several years ago; but walked away from when I turned to WordPress&Hostgator

  • renoseoexpert Sandy Rowley (@renoseoexpert) reported

    @HGSupport Support hold times are 90 minutes? Chat function is not working for a week now. How to get ahold of a human at #hostgator ?

  • JoeBiancoAuthor The Golden Goose Egg (@JoeBiancoAuthor) reported

    Hey @HGSupport @HostGator you lost a customer!

  • OnionfarmsMedia Kenneth Erwin Engelhardt (@OnionfarmsMedia) reported

    Just contacted HostGator. It's not just Onionfarms, it is all customer websites being affected. Their engineers are working to resolve the issue. Onionfarms has not been taken down.

  • BourbonPursuit Bourbon Pursuit 🥃 (@BourbonPursuit) reported

    @theteacherin207 @HostGator They said it was a plug-in issue. No idea. But I’m back up now. They had To touch every site

  • OnionfarmsMedia Kenneth Erwin Engelhardt (@OnionfarmsMedia) reported

    @UndeadHeal HostGator is having an issue with all of its customer websites not just mine. If the **** accusations are a part of the title or there is a tag then yes. But if it is just banter in the discussion then no.

  • NRombiola Nicolas Rombiola (@NRombiola) reported

    @HostGator 2 hours later... the problem continues

  • renoseoexpert Sandy Rowley (@renoseoexpert) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator I did finally get through to someone, but they did not help. They said the SSL was working, when it is not. They said try again in a few hours. I waited 12 hours and it is still not resolved. #hostgator

  • OnionfarmsMedia Kenneth Erwin Engelhardt (@OnionfarmsMedia) reported

    @skystracloud No I cannot. It's an overall problem HostGator is having.

  • theteacherin207 Nick Miller (@theteacherin207) reported

    @BourbonPursuit @HostGator What are they telling you? Something about "sites down for an hour" for Data Center Migration? I've been down for 24 hours.

  • SteveCinq Steven Cinquegrana (@SteveCinq) reported

    @HostGator Ha! As if the problem is your phone carrier! It’s just that, as always, you want any excuse to avoid providing support to your (diminishing number of) customers. Host gator is a joke.

  • theteacherin207 Nick Miller (@theteacherin207) reported

    looks like @hostgator and @HGSupport has struck again. My student's newspaper site has been down for 12 hours and they can't seem to figure it out. I am now on 3rd support chat while waiting on hold on the phone.
