  • alienindaroom Jaleesa Esq. 🇧🇧🐸💖 (@alienindaroom) reported

    Man this website and email has been down all day. Haven’t been able to access other work-related sites either cause of email issues. Hostgator gotta work faster 🥴🙃

  • MagoDuende Syneidesis (@MagoDuende) reported

    @MonthlyPuroresu @HostGator @HGSupport It has been like that the whole day, their chat support hasn't worked during the week, the problem is that they didn't even send us a warning email, I have many clients super angry today because there is no email service

  • PochertTerry Terry Pochert (@PochertTerry) reported

    @HostGator Help! Having problems connecting to your mail servers. What might be happening?

  • MonthlyPuroresu Monthly Puroresu (@MonthlyPuroresu) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport Down completely for over two hours. No access to email, nothing

  • AmandaSGreen Amanda S. Green (@AmandaSGreen) reported

    @HostGator So what is the current status? What is the timeline? There has been a complete lack of communication on your end about this problem.

  • HumanNaturemag Human Nature magazine (@HumanNaturemag) reported

    @HostGator We've had @ipowerhosting for 15 years and this has never happened. se @hostgator for a different site and this has happened twice in one week. Bigger is not always better. Time to move your business.

  • spiritoftwi 🕉SpiritOfTwilight☯️ (@spiritoftwi) reported

    @TeaAddictWitch @ThymelessC @HostGator I tried dreamhost a couple of years ago. They had an issue transferring my primary domain within 14 days. So I decided to move on.

  • cgeyne 0xCHRiS (@cgeyne) reported

    @HGSupport @callmelexis helpchat is not working

  • TeaAddictWitch Tea Addicted Witch 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🍵 (@TeaAddictWitch) reported

    @spiritoftwi @ThymelessC @HostGator Eek. Yeah **** happens, their Twitter is filled with lots of angry people. One thing I've liked about Dreamhost is the super fast and helpful customer service. If I'm paying for something and it goes down due to a failed install I want help asap.

  • LatherandMore LatherandMore (@LatherandMore) reported from Houston, Texas

    @HGSupport We are in the middle of a major sale and our website is completely down! What is going on? Help please

  • ComicscmndPost Comics Command Post (@ComicscmndPost) reported

    @HostGator This is completely unacceptable. We pay a lot of money for your service.

  • dpcnh1 Dave Corbin (@dpcnh1) reported

    @MagoDuende @tiingenieros @HostGator Depends on what servers your sites are on. I have 2 up and 2 down right now. Email on the ones that just went down has been acting odd for a couple of days.

  • strongvoice strongvoice (@strongvoice) reported

    @jamiepogue @HostGator I was just checking. They're doing a system upgrade. I didn't receive an email about it. I also am not able to log onto the forum w/my current username+password to find out more. Maybe you can for your site(s). Go to support, then enter that your website is down to get there.

  • NazrulI74715424 Nazrul Islam (@NazrulI74715424) reported

    @HostGator You could send an email warning your customers. Please solve the problems as soon as possible and come back with more power and speed.

  • strangershots strangershots (@strangershots) reported

    @HostGator So what do you offer to customer whose websites are down for almost 2 hours now?

  • spiritoftwi 🕉SpiritOfTwilight☯️ (@spiritoftwi) reported

    @TeaAddictWitch @ThymelessC @HostGator I've been using woocommerce in conjunction with PayPal for probably 5 years. Never an issue. I just use the addon for PayPal instead of the woocommerce payment gateway.

  • MagoDuende Syneidesis (@MagoDuende) reported

    @tiingenieros @HostGator websites are still not affected by this mess, I see all my hostgator websites no problem, only emails are a mess, your website indicates a problem with DNS are you sure you paid your domain renewal or something like that?

  • NeXTLoop Matt Milano (@NeXTLoop) reported

    Is @HGSupport having problems? My #HostGator hosted site has been down for hours and I can't get through to support.

  • mtltony Montreal Tony (@mtltony) reported

    @HostGator Shame on you! I lost revenue ad money because of this. This has been going on for a week. Unacceptable! I lost my ranking on Google. 15 years of hard work down the drain.

  • EnsleyTech Ensley Tech Solutions (@EnsleyTech) reported

    @mtltony @HostGator 15 years down in 2 hours? What on Earth happened?!

  • createdotcom Create.com (@createdotcom) reported

    @Cryptog33z3r @HostGator @RadioShack Happy to help. Come on over for a free year.

  • TeaAddictWitch Tea Addicted Witch 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🍵 (@TeaAddictWitch) reported

    @spiritoftwi @ThymelessC @HostGator Checking out your site now actually! I run several and pay a flat rate plus domain reg renewals and haven't had any downtime issues save for bad WordPress installs. I do backups often

  • TeaAddictWitch Tea Addicted Witch 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🍵 (@TeaAddictWitch) reported

    @spiritoftwi @ThymelessC @HostGator Ugh that's frustrating. I've never had an issue with that but I've had past hosts sell my domains out from under me. I always check to be sure they're locked and paid for now.

  • spiritoftwi 🕉SpiritOfTwilight☯️ (@spiritoftwi) reported

    @TeaAddictWitch @ThymelessC @HostGator I've been managing my own site for years. I won't do (and never have used) a free service. I pay yearly for my hosting and they're supposed to be number one.

  • jamiepogue Jamie Pogue (@jamiepogue) reported

    Frustrated to see that myself and so many other @hostgator users are having issues. Websites not loading at all. Thankfully we don't use HG for email. Isn't there any kind of redundancy to prevent this from happening?

  • jamiepogue Jamie Pogue (@jamiepogue) reported

    @strongvoice @HostGator I have contacted support but unfortunately you have given me a more detailed description of the problem than they have. They did credit our account a month since it meets the criteria of their Uptime Guarantee. Currently looking up HG alternatives...

  • mhud Michael Hudson (@mhud) reported

    @HostGator many of your DNS servers are down, knocking a lot of your customers offline. Do you have a status dashboard where we can see an ETA for resolution?

  • WLPComics White Lightning **** (@WLPComics) reported

    Hostgator's DNS servers are down, they say as a consequence of their server migration from a few days ago. That's why WLP's websites have been inaccessible this afternoon. No idea when they'll be back up. Please be patient.

  • spiritoftwi 🕉SpiritOfTwilight☯️ (@spiritoftwi) reported

    My website through @HostGator is down for the 3rd time in the past week, and down for over an hour. Does anyone else have a hosting company they'd recommend....just in case I blow my top.

  • cgeyne 0xCHRiS (@cgeyne) reported

    @HostGator any news about fixing your connectivity issues?
