@ZoeWundenberg @HostGator Same here. Been having this HORRIBLE delay on my sent emails (up to 24 hours delayed) for over 10 days and they just email me with some "I'm sorry but there is no ETA for fix" b.s. When I go into chat they just tell me to keep emailing them and leave the chat.

@HostGator I have not had a response from the support team for two days ago. Bad support.

@Kingofcarrental @HGSupport I spent hours checking if I had done something wrong with a plugin or my settings, and then I could see it is a Hosgator issue. Did they solve it for you?

@tyberco @HostGator I’m having the same issue - it’s the worst service I’ve experienced. I’m a reseller so I have clients hanging cause of this madness with no ETA!

(@SeamanDesign) reported
@HGSupport @Hostgator Is there an ETA on resolving the email issues? This is pretty ridiculous! I have clients who’s business are being seriously impacted by this insane lapse in service with no definite time frame for resolution. What’s going on? #Hostgator

(@tyberco) reported
@HostGator Was up early, trying to contact @HostGator support. You have an ongoing smtp issue. Outbound emails take hours to deliver, or fail to deliver at all. Agent said your engineers are aware of it, but no ETA to fix it. I asked how long they have known, and she said, "many days".

@EthaanJack @capello_007 Where did you changed it to? This is so frustrating my customers are asking me to move them out of Hostgator because of the email issues. 10 days without being able to send emails. It's ridiculous.

@HostGator I have not had a response from the support team for two days. Bad support. And the worst thing is that sometimes the chat does not work well and they have to be started again. They also don't have a ticket system.

@HostGator I need you to please resolve this problem more than a week with mail delivery delays of approximately 5 hours in the mail being delivered or more and in some cases my mail is not even arriving

55 minutes on phone with @HostGator support is a complete and total waste of time. Any recommendations where I should move #hosting? #badservice

@HostGator That would be great... You know if you could get my server up that's been down since yesterday. If you could get that done, so that my clients and I can actually be back up and running I would be happy to enjoy the weekend.

(@ZoeWundenberg) reported
Seriously, is it just me, or is @HostGator's tech support incredibly bad? It's taken an hour on live chat for them to finally say there's a system error on their side, I ask when will it be fixed, and I was given an auto response and then the operator "left". WTAF???

@HGSupport when will your shared server email issues be resolved? My business emails aren’t getting through or are being delayed due to server gateway issues….help!

@HGSupport @HostGator Color me weird but this email issue is pretty close to a catastrophic failure at least to customers enduring it. You’d think there could me some public updates. Maybe even a public apology by someone who manages the company.

@tyberco @HostGator Same thing here for over 3 days. Talked to a rep via live chat said they're aware of the issue and will fix it. Well 3 days passed the issue is still there...

(@AffiliatesWatch) reported
@capello_007 @r_sotojr @EthaanJack Definitely don't do that, they're the same company as Hostgator...crappy service on both, don't listen to affiliates out for your money to make commission!!

King of Car Rentals
(@Kingofcarrental) reported
@luisvelazmino @HGSupport It’s a known ongoing issue with their gateways affecting all shared servers. It has not been resolved so far to the best of my knowledge and emails take hours to get received on the other end especially Gmail

@MiaMoeX @HGSupport It's been bad. They said they are working on it.

(@tyberco) reported
@HostGator smtp email is not being delivered. This issue has been ongoing for days, if not weeks. They've been unable to resolve it. Cannot recommend @HostGator for web or email hosting.

@Benitez2Ines @HostGator Same here. Up to 24 hours of delay on all of my domains, and keep getting some bs. "We're still investigating the issue" response from them

@HostGator I have not been receiving my emails on my reseller account for days. Your support keeps saying you are aware of the issue. Many emails for clients hosted on my account. Why is it taking forever to resolve this?

(@AikenheadTom) reported
@HostGator how long do you expect to have outbound email issues? Your DNS is blacklisted, so how long until we can send emails that don't take days to arrive? My biz is taking a hit, not happy... @dreamhost I'm looking your way...
