  • squonk15 Joshua V. Best (@squonk15) reported

    @HostGator Stay away from Hostgator at all costs. They do not care about their customers' businesses, and their 24/7 support is simply a lie. I pity you if you try to upgrade to a new or better server because you are screwed.

  • NightRaven1969 James W (@NightRaven1969) reported

    @HostGator there is something going on with the Canadian sites. My servers have been down all day. I think it has to do with blacklisting. Been trying to get answers from host gator all day and they will not give the truth. Canadians that have lost today contact me

  • danaoren dana o (@danaoren) reported

    @HostGator is down for Rogers clients in Canada. Question is, who is at fault?

  • channelforbus ChannelForbus (@channelforbus) reported

    @HGSupport Check your own damn DMs this is your fault again

  • BevRoze Beverly (@BevRoze) reported

    @HostGator 2 days now without outgoing email for me and my clients and I cannot get support from chat or phone "help." No one seems to understand anything. This is unacceptable!!

  • ra101 Rajesh Acharya 🇨🇦 (@ra101) reported

    After several days of going back and forth via twitter DMs, emails, and live chats, still frustrated with @Hostgator. I have sent them several direct messages, emails, screenshots to no avail. Publicly they claim they are helpful and will resolve the issue, but privately they…

  • squonk15 Joshua V. Best (@squonk15) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator Hostgator is terrible. Do not use them under any circumstances, and if you are able to get away from them, do so immediately before you are completely screwed.

  • rockstarmaxey DaveTheTech (@rockstarmaxey) reported

    @HostGator I had to use the good old e-mail method to send a message needing support, and am still waiting on reply. This makes me feel like there's no Live Chat available and the forwarding of clicking Live Chat sends us to the Knowledge Base, which is REALLY weird. #hostgator

  • Capitalware Capitalware Inc. (@Capitalware) reported

    Currently, Capitalware's hosting provider (HostGator) is having technical issues. Both the website & email system are not working. If you have an urgent issue, you can call us at +1-226-980-7307 & we will try to help you over the phone. Hopefully, this will be resolved soon.

  • Capitalware Capitalware Inc. (@Capitalware) reported

    Update: The website is only unavailable to people from Canada. Weird but true. After getting a hold of HostGator's customer service, I switched on my VPN & set the location to a spot in the USA & now everything is working. Very strange. They say they are working on the issue.

  • DAntispammer diogenes_the_antispammer (@DAntispammer) reported

    @HGSupport You never issued me a ticket number. I reported the details and confirmed in a dm to you a week ago. I was assured that someone would look into the matter. No-one did. Once again, @HGSupport simply ignore abuse reports.

  • barbbowman Barb Bowman 🌷💙💛 (@barbbowman) reported

    @PlainOleMissy Maybe you should think about moving to a hosting service like Blue Host, Hostgator, Dreamhost, etc. ????

  • arpitgshah27 Arpit G Shah (@arpitgshah27) reported

    Today we had many issues with loading the website on the Hostgator server. I still didn't get satisfy a request from the support team @hostgatorindia This is happening for the last 2 or 3 days but still do not have any proper solutions to this. Any idea?

  • BevRoze Beverly (@BevRoze) reported

    @copythat07 @HostGator No, today is day 3 without a solution from HostGator. Can’t get anyone on the phone who knows what they are doing to fix the problem.

  • BevRoze Beverly (@BevRoze) reported

    @HostGator I can't get your tech people to give me a case #! They are gaslighting me telling me there appears to be no issue.

  • najeebmh najeebmh (@najeebmh) reported

    @HGSupport unfortunately im not getting proper support from hostgator

    Hiya @HostGator @HGSupport your support websiteand chat are down. What's going on?

  • BevRoze Beverly (@BevRoze) reported

    @HostGator Yesterday morning when I went to chat support to report this issue, there was a message that there was a "known issue" with email servers being affected. Today, phone & chat support seem to not know a single thing about this.

  • paulkor Paul Kor (@paulkor) reported

    @HGSupport is there an issue with your servers? I can't access my website, nor the control panel.

  • BevRoze Beverly (@BevRoze) reported

    @HostGator For two days now, cannot email anyone outside of my server. No bounce or failure messages are coming back but people are not getting emails from me or my clients. Chat told me yesterday there was some issue with the server and that I should just "keep checking."

  • rockstarmaxey DaveTheTech (@rockstarmaxey) reported

    @HostGator Why on EARTH, have you made it literally impossible to gain access to Live Chat support? I found a leftover link to another Live Chat support that said, "Sorry, we're not the support you're looking for." I've been a customer since 2009. I've NEVER had this much issue.
