Hostgator Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Guy (@Hal_chair) reported@HGSupport How to you access the live chat support. It has been disabled for months now. All live chat support does is show you a list of "is this your problem" crap.
-
CJ Cornell (@cjcornell) reportedDoes anyone have any web hosting recommendations so I can get away from @hostgator and the awful @HGSupport ?? Happy to pay a premium to hopefully take lots of other unhappy customers with me.
-
Anne Ryan (@RyanAssocs) reported@hgsupport Help. Every time I try to have support upload new wordpress site while backing up old html site, the new site continues to refer to the subdomain I created it in. Good grief...no one in support knows what to do.
-
Lucho Señal⚡️ (@Luchocalabera) reported@HostGator @_CooLesT_ My website are all down.... No access at all yo any domain
-
Mrchispa (@Mrchispa8) reported@HostGator almost 10 hours no service!
-
Mehul Mukati (@mehulmukati) reportedhey @BigRockIndia its not fair that you sneak in add-ons at time of domain renewal without my explicit permission. In the last 13-14 years with @hostgatorindia @HGSupport I have never once faced such behaviour. I for sure will be out from your system soon.
-
INALEGWU (@tchaloyi) reportedImagine a company the size of @HostGator still uses real humans in their support. I've been using them for years and their customer support is the number one reason I won't be leaving anytime soon. A company's CS is one of the best marketing strategies often ignored. They'd learn
-
Aishwarrya Deepak (@aishrudeep) reported@HGSupport @HostGator Case #46908029: Frustrated with lack of updates from HostGator Customer Advocate Team. Expected response within 48hrs as mentioned in the email, but still no communication. Please provide an update or reason for delay.
-
HostGator Support (@HGSupport) reported@dcodrea We know that popup looks sketchy, but it isn’t from your HostGator site; it’s a browser extension (Coupert) injecting coupon ads over your dashboard. Try incognito or another browser; if it’s gone, remove the extension. If not, support can help!
-
Autark (@Aut4rk) reported@process_eli I went to school for my assosciate's in applied sciences for computer programming & analysis way back in 2002. I quit a semester later and got a job as a remote L3 sysadmin for HostGator. They wanted me to learn Java before C++. **** that.
-
Abhishek Ingle (@abhishekingle) reported@HGSupport Why @HGSupport is ghosting it's customers? It's been 3 days since I raised an escalation and even after multiple emails I have not received any responses. HG Support used to be far more responsive earlier.

Joe Youngblood - SEO, Futurology, AI, Marketing (@YoungbloodJoe) reportedRocketship SEO Plugin: We have identified a memory handling issue with our plugin that appears to largely impact Yoast users on Bluehost (though not HostGator which is the same company). in 100% of cases we've investigated the issue goes away in a few hours as memory used subsides. You might get an error immediately after activating the plugin that says there has been a critical error on the site. Your site and Admin area are fine, this is the memory issue manifesting itself. You might also get a report emailed by WordPress saying the issue was caused by @Yoast using too much memory, but it is our plugin causing the problem not Yoast. Our best guess at the moment is that this error is caused by our compatibility settings with Yoast which is performed automatically upon install and activation. We are looking at making this process more efficient and improving our compatibility so sites in shared environments like Bluehost do not encounter this issue.

CENSORED BY T!!TTER (@PeterVadala) reported@hostgator AmericasMansMan family of Web Sites is down AGAIN
-
Zak Kann (Fractional CTO) (@zrkann) reported@FakeUncleNemo Agree generally, but not with Hostgator. EIG subsidiaries (Hostgator, Bluehost, etc) lure people in with cheap intro rates but they quickly raise the prices, their defaults are slow and often have security vulnerabilities, and their customer support, well, I'm not sure it exists.
-
Egerton Sinclair (@Eg_a_Sinclair) reported@HGSupport all my sites are running slow and I can’t get access to your online chat, the page just refreshes …

Zennie Abraham ZENNIE62 #SuperBowlLX #NFLDRAFT (@ZennieAbraham62) reportedHey @grok do you know why HostGator now closes its offices rather than give 24-hour support, unlike they sed to ?
-
Makarand Mane | Organising #WCAsia 2026 (@mkrndmane) reported@HGSupport I asked your support agent to create a ticket for 4 times. Then she created it. Provide an easy option to create support ticket instead of a chat option
-
Nathan young (@nathanyoung26) reportedWe’re moving to @HostGator — they actually pick up the phone. A website host should support your business, not sink it.
-
Zennie Abraham ZENNIE62MEDIA #CES #NFLDRAFT #SDCC (@ZennieAbraham62) reportedHey @HGSupport Vinayak is playing games with me. HG admins know how to update the SSL Certificate, but he acts like he can't do it and will not get help. I asked him to get a supervisor. He will not.
-
I REFUSE (@seanrogers8) reported@HostGator @HGSupport When will you fix your email hosting? You provide the worst service ever!
-
Geetha Prabhu (Workflexi) (@geetu11) reported@BigRock @hostgatorindia Can someone call me on my registered mobile no. pls? Every week our emails are down and your team takes one whole day to rectify the problem. When it was hostgator, we never faced this issue. What is that you guys are doing differently that we have to suffer every week!!??
-
Dundee Internet (@Dundee_Internet) reported@HGsupport We operate a private opt-in discussion list on our mail server used to distribute messages only to subscribed members. The system is not used for spam or bulk commercial mail — it is a controlled discussion list serving legitimate clients-This appears to be a misclassification by your mail system or an IP-level restriction. Who can I contact, as you support number and AI chat doesn't understand

Oscar Múgica ن (@oscarmugica389) reported@HGSupport Is down right now says: It is not just you. The server is not responding...
-
✌ Brando™ 🇨🇦 Whistler (@surfingshreddie) reported@HGSupport I cannot access any of my websites. Are your servers down?
-
CENSORED BY T!!TTER (@PeterVadala) reported@HostGator @HostGator or anyone out there can you verify this is actually #Hostgator before we attempt to do tech support via #X instead of over the phone
-
John Anthony (@johnanthony33) reportedAfter 23 years being a customer of @HostGator they recently deleted/lost all database content for 4 sites during a hosting renewal. In an attempt to get a refund I got a runaround from 3 different companies including #BlueHost and #NetworkSolutions. No refund yet.

Brenton Bostick (@halting_brenton) reported@HGSupport I'm trying to buy a new domain. I agreed to terms of service and clicked Checkout Now. And nothing happens.
-
Akhil P Walia (@akhilpw) reported@hostgatorindia All our websites hosted on #Hostgator are down for the last 45 minutes, and the support is hard to reach. After waiting in-line for over 20 minutes to reach chat support , the agent is totally unresponsive.

Misty Lake | Photographer (@Misty_Lake) reported@HGSupport I never had a free plan. The email address doesn't say HostGator or Gator in the domain.
