    Hey @HostGator, what's up with your servers? all websites hosted buy you are literally down. This has been going on for a while now. Your support @HGSupport is not helping either!! #wordpresswebsite @WordPress

  • networkcompare Mobile Comparison (@networkcompare) reported

    @skystracloud I can access cpanel but think all DNS settings are lost because hostgator have had DNS down for 2 days now. I am on mobile without reliable internet and need sites and email accounts to be fixed!

  • ScottSandry Sandry (@ScottSandry) reported

    @HGSupport So what scam are you running as none of your excuses fit. Sent multiple emails from same ip (ccd myself on most) 1 still gets rejected (1 I didn't cc) so it can't be my ip as the rest went fine. Also no cloud hosted email has issues. Are you trying to force ppl to cloud hosting?

  • kamal_bunkar kamal bunkar (@kamal_bunkar) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport what a poor service, 1:30 minutes on chat & you guys not giving support. case ID. 42767820

  • IbnKhalis ﻣﺤﻤﺪ ﺑﻦ ﺧﺎﻟﺺ (@IbnKhalis) reported

    Who else uses @HostGator? Been having a lot of trouble with them lately. Website has constantly been going down and they’re trying to leverage me to buy into an upgrade 😤 customer support is a nightmare! #incompetence

  • JayMarroquin Jay Marroquin (@JayMarroquin) reported

    @HostGator is absolutely the worst hosting service provider I've ever had. Over the last month, multiple websites just randomly go down for over 5 minutes at a time. This happens multiple times a week. If I didn't have downtime notifications I wouldn't know about it.

  • Hannalytics1 Hannan (@Hannalytics1) reported

    you will have to find a web hosting service for your site. Some services will cost you a lot of money, but you can find good hosting services on a budget. Examples of cheap but quality hosting services are Hostinger, HostGator, and BlueHost, (4/11)

  • networkcompare Mobile Comparison (@networkcompare) reported

    @HGSupport How can I have an ID when you have broken DNS so all my email accounts are not working? This has now been over 48 hours. DNS completely broken. All domains down, websites down, email down. No response whatsoever from Hostgator.

  • knavethemage David Madison (@knavethemage) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator I appreciate the response. The website method is not working. I was trying to remember and change my password; but never got the email that they said they had sent. I need help to cancel this; because I don't know how to contact support.

  • realiconman Cornelius Emmanuel (ICON MAN) (@realiconman) reported

    @HostGator @WordPress @HostGator My WordPress Website Hosted on Your Platform is Down what's going wrong? Is it a general issue? Kindly Help me fix this

  • knavethemage David Madison (@knavethemage) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator I thought you WERE support?!

  • yahighnez2u Chantal Jones (@yahighnez2u) reported

    @HGSupport Hello…I’m unable to login to my portal. May I receive assistance with this please?

  • ScottSandry Sandry (@ScottSandry) reported

    @HGSupport I have several tickets regarding this, guess how many have been supportive? Zero. It's almost a month long issue. It's the worst your company has ever been in 10+ years. Is the default just blame the customer now? You guys admitted to changes and that's when problems started.

  • TheDigitalHippi Debbie Forand 👋🌿💻 (@TheDigitalHippi) reported

    @HGSupport Thank you, I have been in contact with them, and issues are resolved. However, the situation should never have happened in the first place.

  • newstodaytamizh newstodaytamil (@newstodaytamizh) reported

    Aug 03: Hostgator's Users in Panic - Hostgators Order Panel Login System is Down. When Contacted the support team informed its an pan India issue they are working to resolve it probably it will be rectified within 24 hours. #Hostgator #hostgatorServiceDown #HostGatorIssue

  • networkcompare Mobile Comparison (@networkcompare) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator Is this an actual joke? All my email accounts across dozens of domains have been down since you broke all DNS on all my VPS. Your admin now told me I need to reply to an email to fix this. DNS is down so I HAVE NO EMAIL ACCESS STILL! It's been over 48 hours!

  • TheDigitalHippi Debbie Forand 👋🌿💻 (@TheDigitalHippi) reported

    So disappointed in @HostGator their support team has completely jacked up my sites. Who is your hosting company? #frustrated #blogger

  • axymak Akshay Makadiya (@axymak) reported

    @HGSupport "Sorry for the issue, we are working on it", is the only word your customer care executive have. Can't expect more from you.

  • 510_BUDS_OUT BUDS OUT (@510_BUDS_OUT) reported

    @HGSupport Is this why I can't get anyone to gives us some certainty about this supposed 99% uptime you guys tout around? We have a reseller package, how do I sell this? I'm tired of dealing with outsourced support with no authority, do you even have US-based folks who can talk business ?

  • securewp WordPress Security (@securewp) reported

    Been trying for 6 days to get a SSL installed. @HGSupport is incompetent... the WORST support on the web! @Hostgator is still has HORRIBLE service! Stay away... #HostgatorSucks #Hostgator

  • cessariuss Cesar Mansilla (@cessariuss) reported

    @HostGator Yesterday I complied with all the instructions received by DM and I still have no response from support. Anything else I have to do???

  • mensajetextos Mensaje Textos (@mensajetextos) reported

    @HGSupport Hello, All sites that use a database are down. Pages that are static are up. Is this a WP problem or has there been a hack?

  • cessariuss Cesar Mansilla (@cessariuss) reported

    @HostGator Good morning @hostgator !! We have been having problems with the mail outbox for 22 days with 3 domains....we know that the service is basic, but why so much delay in the solution???

  • abhishekdgeek Abhishek Jain (@abhishekdgeek) reported

    @mensajetextos @HostGator They don't, tracking via 3rd party software will give you a real understanding of how bad the are.

  • Runt4Ever Lori Matthews (@Runt4Ever) reported

    @HGSupport So why are you billing me a week early..customer service rep is not helping

  • networkcompare Mobile Comparison (@networkcompare) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator this is the final straw. DNS on all my domains has been down for 48 hours plus. Your engineers haven't even given me an update in that time let alone fixed it. Dozens of domains without working websites or email for multiple days is not acceptable!

  • marouane_rhafli Marouane RHAFLI (@marouane_rhafli) reported

    Is @HostGator site down again ?

  • JayMarroquin Jay Marroquin (@JayMarroquin) reported

    This is what happens when groups such as @NewfoldDigital (formally Endurance International Group) snatch up every local ISP they can and gut it to the bare minimums all in the name of profit. All of @HGSupport is now outsourced to India and it honestly sucks.

  • sacj2000 Jesus Sanchez Cuevas (@sacj2000) reported

    @HostGator i need your help, your team support dead My service of mail, i don't create ticket of service, only chat, six days offline my service, need help
