Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • BillLudwig BillLudwig (@BillLudwig) reported

    @HGSupport I just wasted an hour and a half on chat with "support". I would appreciate a call from a supervisor ASAP.

  • StopTextScams Stop Scams! Text and All! (@StopTextScams) reported

    @HGSupport You guys rock, it's already down! You saved a lot of people from whatever malware they were trying to spread!

  • JuliaCarmel__ Julia Salazar (@JuliaCarmel__) reported

    Coming here to complain about @HostGator, out of desperation. Due to some problem with HostGator, my email has been down for *weeks*. We have been actively trying to get it fixed, but the support is bad. It was back up for a few days. Now it is down again. It’s wildly disruptive.

  • haiku_shack Cendrine Marrouat (@haiku_shack) reported

    I have been trying to access the support chatroom for half an hour now. I can't access any of my websites and inboxes. @HGSupport

  • sherifAlSamman Sherif Al-Samman (@sherifAlSamman) reported

    Service down for hours. Why would the company not update customers about what is going on? Since the outage is affecting thousands of people, @HostGator @HGSupport Worst company ever

  • haiku_shack Cendrine Marrouat (@haiku_shack) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator I have never received an email from HostGator when there were major issues before. So I know your statement to be incorrect

  • microMAF Musharraf Ali Farooqi (@microMAF) reported

    Anyone else experiencing problems with Hostgator-hosted sites in Pakistan?

  • _CooLesT_ The CooLesT (@_CooLesT_) reported

    @HostGator website is down, cpanel not accessible

  • HGSupport HostGator Support (@HGSupport) reported

    @jtlindroos @HostGator Hello JT, would you mind DMing us your domain name? And if you already contacted support, a case ID would be much appreciated. Let's see what's going on. (Sorry for the delay)

  • haiku_shack Cendrine Marrouat (@haiku_shack) reported

    @HGSupport My name is Cendrine (no H). I finally managed to chat with a representative. Why would the company not update customers about what is going on? Since the outage is affecting thousands of people, @HostGator has a responsibility to communicate with us in a transparent way.

  • sherifAlSamman Sherif Al-Samman (@sherifAlSamman) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport yesterday all services down for more than 12 hours!! its working now. Why would the company not update customers about what is going on?

  • EHTestArea EHTestAreaey (@EHTestArea) reported

    @HGSupport As of today, all our sites are down for 7 days!! I don't even know how many times I contacted your support. I've been hearing you guys are working on issues for the last 7 days! No new update, no ETA. TERRIBLE! Case# 43885656

  • sherifAlSamman Sherif Al-Samman (@sherifAlSamman) reported

    @HGSupport @HGSupport is server down now? unable to access all service ip: 192.185.48.190

  • _CooLesT_ The CooLesT (@_CooLesT_) reported

    @heymusafir @marouane_rhafli @HostGator Same thing here, site is down

  • HGSupport HostGator Support (@HGSupport) reported

    @haiku_shack @HostGator Forgive me. I thought you were stating the conversation didn't lead to a solution. I'm happy to hear its resolved. In regards to transparency, when there is a large migration or serverwide issue, our admins send emails or forum posts like above to those impacted by this.

  • CaptainRanz Shel Ranz (@CaptainRanz) reported

    @JuliaCarmel__ @HostGator HostGator down? Oh, that's a croc!

  • faisal7moud Faisal Web developer (@faisal7moud) reported

  • haiku_shack Cendrine Marrouat (@haiku_shack) reported

    Are your servers down, @HostGator? I can't access my inboxes and websites.

  • haiku_shack Cendrine Marrouat (@haiku_shack) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator If you really work at HostGator, you will know that the issue was reported by hundreds of people. Even specialized websites reported the outage.

  • marouane_rhafli Marouane RHAFLI (@marouane_rhafli) reported

    Are @HostGator hosted sites down again? 🙄

  • JohnnyBFine Johnny Fine (@JohnnyBFine) reported

    @HGSupport my site has been down for over 24 hours now. Is this due to migrating to a new data center this weekend.

  • BlitzK BlitzK (@BlitzK) reported

    @HGSupport Why can't you keep the network up??? Why is my domain down as much as it is????? This is getting ridiculous

  • HGSupport HostGator Support (@HGSupport) reported

    @haiku_shack @HostGator @haiku_shack We do send out emails Cendrine, however your issue may have not been related to a server wide one. That may be the case. Since I didn't get your domain name, I couldn't confirm, but only assume based on common issues reported today. But I apologize for assuming 1/2

  • WarpOneTravel Warp One Travel (@WarpOneTravel) reported

    @HostGator Hmmm… maybe bad jokes is why you’ve had so many issues keeping servers running.

  • oxign Steve (@oxign) reported

    @HGSupport once again our sites are down. In the past few months we have been down at least 3 times and for over 24 hours. In fact 3 days on the first occasion. I don’t even know what to say anymore.

  • Lanceliot Lance Eliot Adams (@Lanceliot) reported

    @HostGator on hold with Customer Support for 30 minutes. Customer service person answered the call and then hung up.

  • oddsocket Oddsocket (@oddsocket) reported

    Er, @hostgator sites up and down for hours now, but no word from them on their channel? Poor show. Again.

  • jtlindroos JT Lindroos (@jtlindroos) reported

    @HGSupport Website and email down for hours, can't connect to support.... I didn't like godaddy, but @HostGator sucks worse.

  • BillLudwig BillLudwig (@BillLudwig) reported

    @HGSupport I never got a DM from you. What information do you want?

  • heymusafir 🇺🇦🍞🍜🌻🌾🍝🥖🇲🇨 (@heymusafir) reported
