  • IsItYumOrYuck Yum Or Yuck? Ⓥ (@IsItYumOrYuck) reported

    @HostGator I left HostGator a few months back due to outages like this happening all. the. time. Even now, every time I take a look on Twitter they seem to have some new issue. It never stops.

  • gmululu gmululu (@gmululu) reported

    @HostGator Hacking the same issue. Any update @HGSupport

  • DSI_Tco Rodolfo Jordán (@DSI_Tco) reported

    @HostGator How "limited customer base" is represented in hundreds, thousands or even more? I´ve been offline a while in Mexico, please do not refer as isolated issue.

  • SteveDiabolo Steve Diabolo (@SteveDiabolo) reported

    @HostGator The control panel is down and over 20 of our sites... this is not a limited customer base as we are using 3 different of Your servers with total different ns records - not cool!!

  • altfilmguide Alt Film Guide (@altfilmguide) reported

    @HostGator How prompt? What is the issue affecting this "limited customer base"? 11 yrs with Hostgator. In the last 2 yrs or so, it has become appallingly unreliable. Support phone lines that go dead, unqualified support personnel, a dedicated server that keeps crashing. Time to move on.

  • ShannekEffect Shannek (@ShannekEffect) reported

    @The_Pale_Realm @HostGator Tried tech support on actual HG but it just says CALCULATING in live chat. No help there. It's just so bad when I'm trying to offer my site's services to possible clients and it doesn't even load. Any other day would have been fine. But not during a live screen share meeting.

  • amainyebriggs amainyebriggs (@amainyebriggs) reported

    @HostGator I have over 100 sites and they are all down

  • oneclickadvisor oneclickadvisor (@oneclickadvisor) reported

    @The_Pale_Realm @ShannekEffect @HostGator They can't e-mail you. If they used HostGator, they are probably experiencing an outage

  • r_sotojr Ricky (@r_sotojr) reported

    @CartelProhibido @LLuiano @HostGator 7 days? email was down for all of my Hostgator domains for almost a month earlier this year, and another month in the last months of 2021.

  • r_sotojr Ricky (@r_sotojr) reported

    @HostGator Third time in a year with a catastrophic system failure. Previous two times our email was down for almost a month. How long is this problem going to last? Your 99.9% uptime promise means ****.

  • soccerra Robb Alexander (@soccerra) reported

    @HostGator Has anyone had success in canceling the service on a prepay contract and receiving a refund? Id also be interested in alternatives.. Can't wait any longer for HG to get things together

  • DStegFA18 DSteg (@DStegFA18) reported

    @HGSupport what is going on? Dedicated servers been down for hours now. Not acceptable!

  • CMATmathlinks CMAT MathLinks (@CMATmathlinks) reported

    @HostGator I have a call for support to call me back but haven't received a call in over 2 hours. How long is the wait for call back. Our website and emails are down and we need a time frame on when it will be up.

  • MudCrabT1000 MudCrabT1000 (@MudCrabT1000) reported

    @HostGator Stop trying to downplay it. Majority of your hosting is down. We run 7 major clients websites on multiple servers and they are all down. @downdetector has over 400 reports on there alone and countless tweets.

  • DesertHosting Desert Web Hosting (@DesertHosting) reported

    @HostGator Our dedicated server is down.

  • BrianFitzcarral Fitzcarrald (@BrianFitzcarral) reported

    @HostGator It's been 2 horas already...all our suites are down...how long is going to take???

  • RedneckGaijin Kristan Overstreet (@RedneckGaijin) reported

    @HostGator "A limited customer base"? "Viewing their websites?" My main business email is out, as is my business. Please don't make this sound like a minor annoyance for us.

  • jasonjustlaw Jason West, Esq. (@jasonjustlaw) reported

    @HostGator Not a limited customer base and more than just websites that are down. Our email has been down for over two hours. Can't even get into cPanel.

  • MarcoBahamond15 Marco Bahamonde (@MarcoBahamond15) reported

    @r_sotojr @johnsterrett @HostGator that was emails acounts, what about dns records ? im looking the down detector and it raise about an hour ago, maybe is not the same issue.

  • WarpOneTravel Warp One Travel (@WarpOneTravel) reported

    @HostGator You know it’s bad when the competition trolls for business everytime there’s an outage.

  • oddsocket Oddsocket (@oddsocket) reported

    Oh, @hostgator - how 'limited' is this outage exactly?

  • ethanish 🍞🌹eeeezypeezy (@ethanish) reported

    @WarpOneTravel @NFTMAGAZlNE @HostGator Same, with intermittent issues in between major outages. At this point I think I'll be migrating as soon as my contract is up

  • r_sotojr Ricky (@r_sotojr) reported

    @NFTMAGAZlNE @HostGator What are you talking about? this is the third outage in a year. Both previous outages left us without email for almost a month.

  • AGA18 Adriana (@AGA18) reported

    @mikedoestheart #HostGator down 🤯

  • luckylastword Not Plato (@luckylastword) reported

    @HostGator "a limited customer base" might wanna try again 😶

  • MrJerryJacques 𝑱𝑬𝑹𝑹𝒀 𝑱𝑨𝑪𝑸𝑼𝑬𝑺 (@MrJerryJacques) reported

    I'm starting to think that I need to switch from @HostGator to @SiteGround. More expensive but no issues

  • SESTranslators Southeast Spanish, Inc. (@SESTranslators) reported

    @HostGator 3 hours now, site 100% down. 4PM to 7PM...

  • CynderHost CynderHost (@CynderHost) reported

    @SESTranslators @HostGator Ugh, that sounds awful! We would never let our customers down like that - we've got some great uptime statistics + are always here to help if you need us. If you're interested in moving, we can do it for free and there would be zero downtime. DM us?

  • marcuanDj djmarcuan (@marcuanDj) reported

    Hey @HostGator , @HGSupport something wrong in your service that I should to know ?

  • MarcoBahamond15 Marco Bahamonde (@MarcoBahamond15) reported
