Hostgator Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • rainshohei Rain. ✨ ISU FLOP 👎 (@rainshohei) reported

    @HostGator It's mindblowing that more than 3 people at HostGator support and their tech specialist can't even fix and configure the SPF problem. This is ridiculous.

  • factory_400 factory400 (@factory_400) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator @wordpressdotcom I am not sure I want to take the time to try......it's fiddly and slow all the time and I am launching a new product in a couple of weeks. I need a SOLID solution.

  • graphicdesignme Michelle Buckley (@graphicdesignme) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator How do I get anyone to actually read & answer support issue w/out a copy & paste from a script? Same issue all month. unusual bandwidth activity, Gigs on SMTP, every single domain, only after a move to VPS through you. No increase in actual traffic.

  • pbinfinity Phillip Burger (@pbinfinity) reported

    Hi @HGSupport - is there an ongoing email issue? All email addresses on a client's domain are broken.

  • PatelsWerner Werner G. Patels (@PatelsWerner) reported

    @realbeneverson @HGSupport Don’t celebrate too soon, because all the sites are down again!

  • BruceLiebknecht Bruce Liebknecht (@BruceLiebknecht) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport Can you please fix your service. Things are on and off for two days already.

  • boldbravemedia Bold Brave Media (@boldbravemedia) reported

    @HostGator Are your servers having issues tonight?

  • MitziSzereto Mitzi Szereto (@MitziSzereto) reported

    @HGSupport Websites down, emails won't load in Cpanel. What's happening? 🙁

  • factory_400 factory400 (@factory_400) reported

    I need to move my website from @HostGator to anyone that is more reliable. Who does well with Wordpress sites? NOT looking for the cheapest, looking for reliability, support, and speed. PS: How hard is it to move a @wordpressdotcom site from one host to another?

  • dvasfm dvasfm (@dvasfm) reported

    @HGSupport @realbeneverson They just updated it, very belatedly, to admit that everything is still broken. Huge chunks of time yesterday and today are not acceptable for a host as huge as HG. Where are the backup systems? No need for my domain, it's a HG-wide issue.

  • dvasfm dvasfm (@dvasfm) reported

    @HGSupport @realbeneverson I am still impacted, or I would not be posting. I have attempted to connect to my server (and 5 other HG servers) from a total of 24 VPN locations. None of them work. Everything is down. Site. CPanel. SMTP. FTP. Everything.

  • zimpeterw Peter Wright (@zimpeterw) reported

    @mitchellclong @HostGator Same problem on my websites on Saturday and Sunday.

  • GummoXXX Gummo (@GummoXXX) reported

    @HGSupport would love to see you guys get my account sorted out :( I've called your support twice, chatted with your support twice, all day mostly. still no resolution ...

  • IBBoard IBBoard (@IBBoard) reported

    Reading the latest @LinuxFormat and I'm REALLY hoping that they're not turning into one of those "funded by dodgy web hosting money" outfits 😕 Digital Ocean gets a mention? Fair enough. But reviews every other issue? Including the over-sold trash heap of HostGator? 🤨

  • ReidWalley Reid Walley (@ReidWalley) reported

    Big thanks to Carl Christian with @HostGator for the tech support!

  • HGSupport HostGator Support (@HGSupport) reported

    @factory_400 @HostGator @wordpressdotcom Hello sorry to hear you are having issues. We would be happy to take look. Please send your primary domain name and Case ID, we are be happy to help.

  • ChncConnections ChanceConnections (@ChncConnections) reported

    @HGSupport @mitchellclong @HostGator That link says the issue is closed, it's clearly not closed.

  • virtualcolombia Virtualcolombia.Net (@virtualcolombia) reported

    @HostGator My website has been down for over an hour now.

  • HGSupport HostGator Support (@HGSupport) reported

    @jolynn @AskAmex @HostGator We take fraudulent charges very seriously. If you have already contacted live support and was provided with Case ID. Please send us a DM with that information and we would happy to take a look.

  • DoRoyalHost DoRoyal Hosting (@DoRoyalHost) reported

    Them: “Why should I host with you instead of HostGator?” Us: “Our Jester won’t bite your hands off. We can’t say the same for their gator.” Apparently our response got us a new customer.

  • Pikointeractive PIKO (@Pikointeractive) reported

    @David_Leavitt We had a problem with hostgator's servers being hacked and some spammers injecting from hostgator popups etc. But its been address and site lock is running 24/7. You may have seen some of that right now if you have not cleared your cookies.

  • DrTrue_CL Dr_True (@DrTrue_CL) reported

    @HostGator I have paid to renew my service and the website is still down...

  • Paisano Doriano Paisano Carta (@Paisano) reported

    Looking for an alternative to Hostgator web hosting that includes malware scanning which Hostgator doesn't which is so lame. It has to support wordpress sites too.

  • LightBeforeSun LightBeforeSun (@LightBeforeSun) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport Please be a respectable company, and make a public statement. Take ownership for this issue.

  • joshfryer138 Josh Fryer (@joshfryer138) reported

    So, @HostGator, why do your support techs keep ghosting me? I'd love to get my site back up this century. 45 minutes to respond to a chat, you're killing' me! 😐

  • internetofcomp1 internetofcompliance (@internetofcomp1) reported

    @iamsouravj @hostgatorindia @HostGator Worst hosting service provider & support. Since 13 April 2022, my server is down due to backend errors Bcz of that my website is down & support team repeats the same line, "We totally understand your concern..

  • karan_gadhavi Karan Gadhavi (@karan_gadhavi) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport is not working? Trying to connect for the last 3 days but have not been able to connect it. #Service

  • ElsieWandera Elsie Wandera (@ElsieWandera) reported

    MOST painful experience with @HostGator Absolutely WORST support ever from @HGSupport Two months I have failed to get support for an issue - so simple

  • PureElementsCo1 Pure Elements Consultancy Ltd (@PureElementsCo1) reported

    @fairfuture @HostGator I’ll be moving soon. Too many issues at this point…I’ve spent 4 days on issues. Fed up at this point…

  • ScottDimmich Scott Dimmich (@ScottDimmich) reported

    Weather updates will be late today. Second day in a row with DNS, plugin, and cPanel issues. Anyone else with @HostGator having issues? @HGSupport
