  • Wunderfy Wunderfy (@Wunderfy) reported

    What the hell @HostGator! Your service has gone down the crapper. I was a huge fan of this company for years and now I am looking at saying goodbye for good.

  • zahidshujakhan zahid khan (@zahidshujakhan) reported

    @HostGator people dont buy from this company. This company is number one worthless. No support nothing. My server is down from last 3 days and they are doing nothing. I am losing my business and they dont care

  • zoforeman Alonzo Foreman (@zoforeman) reported

    @david_giorgi @HGSupport @HostGator Stay away from MT, our sites have been down consistently the past week with no resolution in sight. They have gone down hill lately and many are migrating off.

  • CM16_16 Carlos Maria Moresco (@CM16_16) reported

    @writerlane @HostGator @writerlane I have been having the same problem for a month 😡

  • turqnet Graham Talbot (@turqnet) reported

    @CM16_16 @writerlane @HostGator Same here. This problem has been around for 3 weeks with no resolution despite several assurances that it will be fixed in 24-48 hours. As a reseller multiple clients of mine are impacted. Not good enough.

  • SharpguyRich Rich (@SharpguyRich) reported

    @HostGator and work on SSL for the brave browser...Im sick of this crap. Every time I pull up my site the lock is missing....this keeps happening, and the last time I could not even log in to my HostGator dashboard...HG is going downhill

  • SetraHosting SetraHost (@SetraHosting) reported

  • DarrylDahl Darryl Dahl (@DarrylDahl) reported

    @HostGator Is anyone getting an update from @HostGator? Still down

  • platinummind D E L O W U S U aka Pianoman (@platinummind) reported

    @HostGator Day 2 no service, I'm moving to another host.

  • goleveled LEVELED (@goleveled) reported

    @HostGator Everyone that relies on one server to host their website is living in the early 2000s. At this point you should be using CDN networks and hosting DNS that allows your website to be up if one server goes down. Hostgator was great before Brent sold. Now there is now advancement.

  • NautilusRep SLB | NautilusRepertus (@NautilusRep) reported

    @HostGator Thank you for letting us know. It'd be really nice if I didn't find out from my boyfriend happening to check y'alls Twitter. My site has been down for over 24 hours and I had no idea why. Please, put a notice when we log in, so we're not in the dark.

  • platinummind D E L O W U S U aka Pianoman (@platinummind) reported

    @foldfm @HostGator Yeah it’s been down since Tuesday so I’ve not been able to do any work. I will not be working with them again

  • itsNiravM Nirav Mehta (@itsNiravM) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport @hostgatorindia -- Why is the chat support so slow? Cannot get hold of anyone since past 2 hours.

  • HolmKeith Keith Holm (@HolmKeith) reported

    @skystracloud I have zero access. Not even through the HostGator Dashboard. I have just been frustrated because I did not cause this, and they weren't telling me anything. I think that is terrible customer service.

  • iamhakeembey Hakeem Bey (@iamhakeembey) reported

    @HostGator One of my client's site appears to be back up now. I'd like to get some clarity on the cause of the outage.

  • orezal Ali Bhai (@orezal) reported

    Is your server down @HostGator? i cannot access any website, even hostgator portal #hostgator

  • Hosting_Heroes The Hosting Heroes (@Hosting_Heroes) reported

    @zahidshujakhan @HostGator HG have sucked ever since they sold the company! If you're looking for a 20+yr old independent company with fast support then we can help. DM us for a 90 day no obligation trial.

  • HolmKeith Keith Holm (@HolmKeith) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport has the absolute worst customer service. I paid them to upgrade my VPS to the Snappy 8000 and in that process they somehow crashed my server. I actually have no idea what happened, other than I have had no access to my site since 1:00pm Monday!

  • platinummind D E L O W U S U aka Pianoman (@platinummind) reported

    Just so everyone knows, the Platinum Mind site is down, @HostGator are just not cooperating apparently their servers got cyberattacked or something, they've been absolutely no help so I'm pulling it from there and will have it back up soon.

  • InBurgerVeritas InBurgerVeritas (@InBurgerVeritas) reported

    Hey, my website is still down!!! I m losing money 💰!!! No one on customer care. #hostgator

  • Philbow55 Philip Bowen Music (@Philbow55) reported

    @HostGator My sites been down almost 24 hours - still no response from my escalated case

  • AirdropCartel Airdrop Cartel 🪂 (@AirdropCartel) reported

    Hey @HostGator @HGSupport @hostgator what is wrong with your tech support system? I haven't been able to get through to anyone all day. Please wait for the next available agent Calculating...

  • bh51512 Brandon (@bh51512) reported

    @PJCorstjens I think I've been stuck with them for like 2 years so far? They are ****. Go with Hostgator. I've started migrating away from them a year ago. I think I've had about a dozen several hour downtimes this year.

  • GTrader38 Dark Brandon 2024 ⚡ (@GTrader38) reported

    @HGSupport @orezal sites are down again. 2nd day in a row of this nonsense.

  • valenzze Jorge Valencia (@valenzze) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport again is down!!!!!

  • highriser Ron Costa (@highriser) reported

    ALL my websites hosted at @HostGator have been severely hacked, despite being "protected" by @SiteLock. It's been over a week now with NO progress as to solving this issue. #Hostgator does NOT provide malware repair services. Consider that when you're looking for a web host.
