Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • leonheywood Leon Heywood (@leonheywood) reported

    It seems at least once a month we have problems with @HostGator and when I tell other tech people they just roll their eyes. As a company you would think they would want to promote a good image of their services.

  • vwmannn Victor Westmann 🇧🇷🇨🇦 (@vwmannn) reported

    @NickMilo Everything on the web my friend. Except hostgator and godaddy. They're also terrible.

  • GlewmeCorp Glewme Corp (@GlewmeCorp) reported

    @HostGator Dear world of #crypto please avoid this service at all costs

  • creatorcastle Young Minds Prosper (@creatorcastle) reported

  • itsmakiidilla .MakiiDilla (@itsmakiidilla) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport I need a solution to my issues in DM. The information I was provided was incorrect as stated by sitelock. I need this resolve asap.

  • bjohnhillary #StopKidnappingUgandans (@bjohnhillary) reported

  • Cycle7Comms Cycle7Comms (@Cycle7Comms) reported

    .@HostGator on hold with you. When are you going to fix this email issue? When will your support management team get back to me? #techsupport /1

  • DeFiDominatrix DeFi ********** (@DeFiDominatrix) reported

    honestly loving how hostgator took forever to respond to a problem on my site and then ended up ******* my site up, only to take forever to respond again so they can unfuck up my site this time.

  • GlewmeCorp Glewme Corp (@GlewmeCorp) reported

    @HostGator So since noone can ever help, and the problem never ends, we think it is best to file and deal with this in court, we are through losing face with a horrible server network that never knows what is happening and can never help

  • creatorcastle Creator Castle (@creatorcastle) reported

    @HostGator @heyscottrowan The portal is down please help!

  • acegirljendeuk franz | voting and streaming 🥀 (@acegirljendeuk) reported

    @pinkpinipig did you contact na the support of hostgator?

  • MitziSzereto Mitzi Szereto (@MitziSzereto) reported

    @SSDesignMedia @HGSupport I'm also having issues since the cpanel upgrade. Now I can't access my email (again). Something is definitely wrong on your end, not mine!

  • SSDesignMedia Steven Schneider (@SSDesignMedia) reported

    @HGSupport I’ve already done all of those things and live chat has not been helpful at all. I’ve been told they were addressing the issue for going on 2 days now. I was told by a “manager, Brian Christian” that this would be fixed by now.

  • itsmakiidilla .MakiiDilla (@itsmakiidilla) reported

    @HGSupport I expressed my situation, your company can not do anything but take 300 to fix my site. 140 deep on a server I now need to move away from, it’s an absolute joke. Nice as pie on the public domain yet sour and short in private communication. It’s not acceptable.

  • HoltTrains Holt Training Inst. (@HoltTrains) reported

    @HostGator a hosting company with ambiguous billing practices. You are a technology company. Why must one get a refund and then repurchase to apply to open invoice. @Quickbooks please help HostGator, please

  • mvandemar Michael VanDeMar (@mvandemar) reported

    @HGSupport Is there an email outage right now? My email on gator4101 keeps erroring out.

  • Cycle7Comms Cycle7Comms (@Cycle7Comms) reported

    @HGSupport I was on the phone with one of your support people when you messaged. Please have a customer support mgr contact me re 31775637. After > 25 calls & emails to your supt team, my inbox is still losing many emails. Unacceptable!

  • GlewmeCorp Glewme Corp (@GlewmeCorp) reported

    @HostGator Why do i need to be speaking to chat 2-3 times a month for 3 months for the same issue

  • DuckDegen Degen Duck (@DuckDegen) reported

    @bantg Wow. And i thought hostgator was bad

  • amgdev Andrea Gibbens (@amgdev) reported

    @natmiletic @kvncnls The white screen of death happened only after being on the phone with HostGator and them trying to fix the original issue... which happened when I imported my local dev site to the staging site attached to their domain which ended up redirecting their domain to ".local"

  • truesaver_net TrueSaver (@truesaver_net) reported

    @EthaanJack No we don't. Their service @HGSupport is topnotch

  • itsmakiidilla .MakiiDilla (@itsmakiidilla) reported

    @HostGator are a shower of robbing bastards. The end. Taking my site down peeps, I can’t afford the fee of 450 yearly. @HGSupport thanks for absolutely nothing.

  • aafc795 Joe Moore (@aafc795) reported

    @denharsh @Namecheap @NamecheapCEO Namecheap is the worst, zero customer service and they don't answer emails. I should start another site with HostGator, which is much better and they actually call you after you become a customer to make sure everything is going along well.

  • jjrruiz Juan José Ruiz (@jjrruiz) reported

    @HostGator IMPORTANT: the attacker is filtering non-Spanish IP addresses and not mobile devices, and showing a fake 403 error. Please use an Android user-agent + Spanish proxy to check it, and solve this #phishing issue as soon as possible.

  • AtlasBatterie ***** Lowdown (@AtlasBatterie) reported

    Call for support, Hostgator bot says "I understand English" then no matter how clearly or loudly I spoke "I can't hear you". Now on chat. They seemed so nice during off hours. My client's site is down because a ****** DNS provider can't load balance.

  • SunnyCrittenden 💀💕🌸~*SunnyGrrrl*~💖✨💀 (@SunnyCrittenden) reported

    If anyone needs site hosting, @HostGator has phenomenal customer service & decently priced hosting packages. Had trouble setting up DNS for new domain, started customer service chat & she was like, "want me to just set them for you?" New domain will be working in 2 hrs. Magic! 👍

  • SSDesignMedia Steven Schneider (@SSDesignMedia) reported

    @HGSupport I know how to clear the cache and perform other network diagnostics, that is not fixing the issue. I have websites that in need access to and I pay for your hosting and professional services and I’m still not able to access control panel or website builder. This is ridiculous!

  • tomtolkien Tom Tolkien (@tomtolkien) reported

    @hgsupport After HG admins upgraded the cloud server in April, inherited PHP.ini versions no longer load common modules such as wddx, sqlite3 or pdo_sqlite. Error messages once a minute. x all domains on a package. x all users on the server. No wonder your server is slow...

  • creatorcastle Young Minds Prosper (@creatorcastle) reported

    @HostGator Cannot login through hostgator, website hasnt been working for days now. Please help
