  • FuryonRon BlessedWarrior (@FuryonRon) reported

    @HostGator This was a fantastic company 10-15 years ago. Too bad you went in the wrong direction. DO NOT RENEW my account. I never want to hear from this company again

  • johnofhousejohn Johnathon Williams (@johnofhousejohn) reported

    @saintvienna My experience is with WordPress hosts. Great: Digital Ocean + ServerPilot, Kinsta Solid: WPEngine Workable in some cases: Siteground Never ever again: Bluehost, GoDaddy, MediaTemple, 1&1, Hostgator, DreamHost

  • itsvidi Waheed Akhtar (@itsvidi) reported

    @HGSupport My email outgoing is not working from last 24 hrs. Please help. Chat person could not resolve it.

  • JField7777 James Field (@JField7777) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator Ok, so if you guys do know what the issue is how come we cannot get an ETA. 1 reliable email day in 15 days is a death knell to most businesses nowadays.

  • umeobikapatrick Patrick Umeobika (@umeobikapatrick) reported

    @saintvienna I use @HostGator for name and hosting majorly Has good hosting services, not really costly tho And has an incredible support 💯 I have a thing with companies that have good customer support

  • MyName78930514 MyName (@MyName78930514) reported

    @HGSupport Problem solved

  • silasfirsthand Silas (@silasfirsthand) reported

    @HostGator After a few days of service, emails are delayed indefinitly again.. I just apologized to all my clients on @hostgator's behalf. What do I say now? Not to mention the fact that its CRIPPLING our ability to do business.

  • crypt0bank crypt0bank.eth (@crypt0bank) reported

    @HGSupport Host Gator has the worst support in history! Trying to resolve issues for days but no luck because they seem to be super lazy.....

  • superconsuchan Consu Chan 💗🌟 (@superconsuchan) reported

    @profitsinyards @HostGator Hi! I have the same problem. They give you any solution? None to me 😔

  • DawnRasmussen Dawn Rasmussen (@DawnRasmussen) reported

    @DubWhitlow I went over to Inmotion Sorry you are having so many problems. HostGator has had a bad rep for years for hosting spammer websites, and what I have read online here with the latest glitch made me decide that this was the last straw.

  • chazwhit3 c white (@chazwhit3) reported

    @HostGator It’s still a problem today July 13. I’ve called Customer support and was last told I’d get a call back in 18 minutes. That was an hour and 45 minutes ago. Just called back and now it’s telling me 99 minutes. Going to lose a lot of customers!

  • BevRoze Beverly (@BevRoze) reported

    @HostGator Extremely frustrated with HG service & support. For the past two weeks, one of my reseller servers has been crashing over and over. I am running out of excuses with my clients and every time, HostGator just tells me it was "emergency maintenance." Sites all are down again!

  • HiromiActs Hiromi Okuyama #hiromiacts (@HiromiActs) reported

    I am in tears & so angry @WooCommerce I did not go the Shopify route & chose #WooCommerce for my website to sell products from @Printful & now I have a server issue (we went through Hostgator & did all the deactivate/activate stuff) Now I have to pay a programmer to fix it?

  • renjunanggg Anggiya ୧⍤⃝🦊 (@renjunanggg) reported

    How will you compensate us with your email issue? It's been a whole f-cking week and still not resolved. Many lost thousands of dollars because of you. Your service sucks, not recommended for anyone looking for hosting provider. @HostGator @HGSupport

  • DavidaPride David Pride (@DavidaPride) reported

    @HostGator totally disappointed in your customer service. Been a loyal customer for over 10-years...seems like the boat is sinking and I'm left with unanswered problems and no one there is communicating or answering my questions.

  • lornaly PureRomance by lornaly (@lornaly) reported

    @HostGator my website is having problems with 502 errors all over, support chat taking too long to response.

  • superconsuchan Consu Chan 💗🌟 (@superconsuchan) reported

    @HostGator Mails and server is down! I NEED MY ECOMMERCE UP!!!

  • DubWhitlow Dub (@DubWhitlow) reported

    Y’all are trash @HostGator 🗑….emails have been down for close to two weeks now costing us over 100k in contracts. Reached out to customer “support” multiple times and nothing. 🤬

  • ElJaviSifuentes Javi (@ElJaviSifuentes) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport There's a problem with your servers, i have some websites down! And u have not a way to report it on mexico.

  • chazwhit3 c white (@chazwhit3) reported

    @IDcrisisdesign @HostGator Same, I’ve never had this issue with my old provider! Guess I’ll be leaving HG. This is not acceptable

  • BevRoze Beverly (@BevRoze) reported

    @HostGator Seems impossible to get someone on the phone for immediate help when there is a critical issue like this affecting a ton of sites. Takes their support team in India atleast 10 minutes just to understand the issue and pull up my account - ridiculous. I am losing business!

  • NidoEscape Nido (@NidoEscape) reported

    For website development avoid @hostgator. Awful. #Website #WebsiteBuilder

  • silasfirsthand Silas (@silasfirsthand) reported

    @DigitalFXar @HostGator I concur. This is nonsense. After apologizing to our clients on @hostgator's behalf, we are down again across three domains.

  • lizasantana Liza Santana (@lizasantana) reported

    Is anyone who has their hosting via @HostGator and uses @Outlook having the same issue as me (no one is getting my emails). Apparently due to a migration going on for weeks! #horrible

  • realjoeybee Joe Bee (@realjoeybee) reported

    @HostGator I find it CRAZY AF That We are STILL having issues. Completely unacceptable. Three Weeks now?

  • superconsuchan Consu Chan 💗🌟 (@superconsuchan) reported

    @EsquibalUSA @HostGator Im from Chile and I have the same problem, losing sales 😔

  • OmarAlb45363745 Omar Albornoz (@OmarAlb45363745) reported

    @BevRoze @HostGator I agree, is terrible...

  • hiren904 Hiren Khambhayta (@hiren904) reported

    @HostGator my email services are down since a week. I am just getting assurance via live chat and emails since 3 days. Case red no. 42176110

  • DubWhitlow Dub (@DubWhitlow) reported

    @NinekeCreative Who do you suggest? We are having a huge issue with hostgator right now and are losing money everyday that goes by.

  • DavidaPride David Pride (@DavidaPride) reported

    @spolandgaming @HostGator I'm in the same boat with a different issue. Been a customer for 10-years...never had such a bad experience with them...it's been 5-days of people from their company being confused with no answers.
