    @ConnertMedia @HGSupport @HostGator Nothing, I have a dedicated server that is down.

  • ConnertMedia Connert Media News (@ConnertMedia) reported

    Has anybody received any communications from Hostgator? Even a posting on their Customer Portal would be nice.... just something. @HGSupport @Hostgator

  • TrailsNH Kimball Rexford (@TrailsNH) reported

    @HostGator Nice job down playing the issue. The system outage effect a lot more people than just a limited number of HG customers. The real issue is no one in the world can see the site. Much bigger problem. Two client sites r down. I assume on different IPs, because built years apart.

  • EdTheStatMan Ed Jones (@EdTheStatMan) reported

    My hosting service, hostgator, is down if you are trying to access the website. No ETA yet on when it will be up and running.

  • TrinnityBlair Trinity Blair 🥀🌼 .ᴄᴏᴍ (@TrinnityBlair) reported

    @CynderHost @HGSupport Do I want to move to a never heard of platform that stalk's their competitions' socials to try to steal their clients? Absolutely not.

  • CynderHost CynderHost (@CynderHost) reported

    @dognutmom @ConnertMedia @HostGator Hey - that doesn't sound fun at all! If you're open to switching, I promise we'll offer a seamless experience w/o issues like these. Plus, we can save you money + move you over for free w/ zero downtime! Can I DM you some more info?

  • idealand Sue Anne Morgan (@idealand) reported

    @HostGator Limited customer base? BS. And, everything is down. Websites, emails, everything.

    @ConnertMedia @HostGator Yes ... can't log into anything. My site is down, cpanel is down, everything. No outages reported here either.

  • jennisimcoe Jenni Simcoe (@jennisimcoe) reported

    @HostGator our email is down…any idea how long outage will be?

  • abaselineview Jack Bullock (@abaselineview) reported

    Apparently HostGator, my host for ABV and ASV, is having problems with websites being down. This includes mine. This is the first problem I've had with them in almost two years since I switched over. Hopefully it is a quick fix soon.

  • ValidateMyTag Ed Fowler (@ValidateMyTag) reported

    @HostGator several of our sites are down and there's a 15min wait to chat with an agent. What's the ETA for a resolution?

  • St3llard Stellar (@St3llard) reported

    Anyone having issues with @HostGator and their dedicated servers. Been offline since about 4:30PM EST. @HGSupport

  • BrandonReef Brandon Reef 🎙 (@BrandonReef) reported

  • strangershots strangershots (@strangershots) reported

    @jennisimcoe @HostGator They actually don't tell. They just tell you that they are working on it. Mine is down for an hour now.

  • Mark_McDonald10 Mark (@Mark_McDonald10) reported

    @HostGator I feel like this is more than a limited customer base issue based on what I am seeing on the net.

  • jessinarvaezm_m Jessi Narvaez (@jessinarvaezm_m) reported

    I cannot send or receive mail in my corporate mail. I don't have access to CPANEL . Please help. @HGSupport

  • MonthlyPuroresu Monthly Puroresu (@MonthlyPuroresu) reported

    @skystracloud @boji @boji Did they tell you what's going on? We can't get a straight answer out of Hostgator or a response via customer service.

  • CynderHost CynderHost (@CynderHost) reported

    @LLuiano @HostGator @HGSupport Hey! I'm sorry to hear about the issues you've been having. If you're interested in working with a hosting company that has great uptime + stellar customer service, we would love to help out. Can we DM you some more info?

  • DarinLarimore Darin Larimore (@DarinLarimore) reported

    @HostGator Transferring domain to another service is much easier than explaining to a client why this is down.

  • AnyGoodHQ AnyGood? (@AnyGoodHQ) reported

    Sorry to our members who are trying to recommend people for the roles we shared today. @HostGator #HostGator appears to be down for a whole bunch of sites 🤨

  • ScottSandry Sandry (@ScottSandry) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport "between 10 PM and 6 AM eastern time during non-US business hours." yet both Package ID: 4924416 & Package ID: 3497847 are down... right now during business hours... At what point will you start compensating customers for all these issues?

  • SpasherT Spasher Thuku 🇰🇪🇺🇸 (@SpasherT) reported from Dallas, Texas

    Is #HostGator down? I can't access my domain nor my emails.

  • jasonjustlaw Jason West, Esq. (@jasonjustlaw) reported

    @HGSupport our website and email down. Looks like there's no response from our name servers. Can't even get in to cPanel to change to an outside server. What's the timeline for a fix? This is a critical outage.

  • aariasp Alejandro Arias Padilla (@aariasp) reported

    @HGSupport Is there a problem with some cloud servers?

  • TheVibrantEdge The Vibrant Edge (@TheVibrantEdge) reported

    @HostGator Mine is down too and no emails coming in. Would love a quick fix.
