  • MrMiller23 Mr. M (@MrMiller23) reported

    Fingers crossed. After multiple calls/chats with @HostGator support, I *think* I found the person who can help. I need to work a few things out but I finally found someone who understands my questions. I think.

  • TechLifeWeb Scott Kingery (@TechLifeWeb) reported

    @HGSupport is FTP down? I can authenticate but then the session doesn't start.

  • InterconMessage Intercon Messaging (@InterconMessage) reported

    @HGSupport we can access our cpanel and whm but are unable to send emails. Is this related to the issues you are having?

  • AbduljalilSaleh Abduljalil AlMudhari عبدالجليل المضري (@AbduljalilSaleh) reported

  • rajendra_menon Raj Menon (@rajendra_menon) reported

    @HGSupport @PokerDe4s Our corporate website has been down since Saturday 10 AM ET, 8/13. It is 6 pm ET on 8/14,not up, no word on what the ETA will be. Pl help!

  • oxign Steve (@oxign) reported

    @splatteredink @HostGator Agree, **** has hit the fan. Speaking to other web developers etc. and no one has ever heard of such an event. The blatant dishonesty is extraordinary.

  • oxign Steve (@oxign) reported

    @splatteredink @HostGator “However, if there was a severe issue, this is something we would have provided immediately” Hostgator, and customer servers being down 48 hours is not severe? Unbelievable!!!

  • splatteredink Darryl T. Jones (@splatteredink) reported

    @HGSupport Why haven't you updated the forum post? I've been told I can get "real time" updates there... right now it feels like you're hiding the problem. That is only making it worse. My partner has already contacted another hosting company to move to.

  • AntonyGratan ˗ˏˋ TONY ˊˎ˗ (@AntonyGratan) reported

    @HGSupport my website is down and I can’t access to the customer portal

  • oxign Steve (@oxign) reported

    @networkcompare @HGSupport @HostGator Is your VPS up yet? Ours has been down over 24 hours!

  • radiobrezice Maks (@radiobrezice) reported

    @HGSupport @tokyomokyo Hostgator literally isn’t aware of this huge issue???? 3 minutes ago you typed to DM primary domains? This is outrageous!

  • sadcryptoguy Horny Crypto Guy (@sadcryptoguy) reported

    HostGator is completely down right now.. How does a hosting company go down? bruh.

  • radiobrezice Maks (@radiobrezice) reported

    @HGSupport @tokyomokyo What are you sleeping??? there is complete outage of all your services for more than 1 hour already! My clients keep on calling me like crazy. There is no way to reach you! nothing works except your sales department!

  • AbduljalilSaleh Abduljalil AlMudhari عبدالجليل المضري (@AbduljalilSaleh) reported

    @da_real_sammann @HostGator @HGSupport Same problem with me, I have VPS SERVER and now down, I have more than 400 customers calling, Hostgator bad company

  • PokerDe4s Porra (@PokerDe4s) reported

    @HGSupport We kwow that, hostgator say this a lot of times on tickets but the service still offline. Hostgator notice us the service will be out for one or two hours but now 40 hs offline, unbelive.

  • gurupak Irfan Ahmed (@gurupak) reported

    @HGSupport #domainmonitoring #domainDown #hostingdown What are you doing to fix the servers issue?

  • oxign Steve (@oxign) reported

    @PokerDe4s @HostGator @HGSupport It’s beyond ridiculous buddy. I actually spoke to a senior support person and he said he honestly could not give me a time for when this migration will be completed.

  • kevola Kevin H. ♠ (@kevola) reported

    @HGSupport I cannot access my primary domain, mail or Cpanel for my website. Mail retrieval is giving me errors.

  • splatteredink Darryl T. Jones (@splatteredink) reported

    @HGSupport It's not a recommendation. It's a requirement if you want to keep me as a customer.

  • gurupak Irfan Ahmed (@gurupak) reported

    @MLino @HostGator @HGSupport Nothing is opening at their end now. Someone call them and check the issue?

  • fwindexer Fast WORK Indexer (@fwindexer) reported

    can't acces my websites and portal @HGSupport @HostGator help

  • splatteredink Darryl T. Jones (@splatteredink) reported

    @oxign @HostGator And I've been with hostgator for like 10 years. They've never done this _smoke & mirrors_ avoid the question customer service before. Transparency is key man. If there's a problem, tell me and we'll deal with it. But right now, I can only assume @HostGator is hiding something.

  • rajendra_menon Raj Menon (@rajendra_menon) reported

    @splatteredink @HostGator @HostGator our corporate website has been down since Saturday morning. I have no idea when this will be up. This is absolutely terrible. Can you pl provide ETAs here?

  • FocusedCreative Focused Creative (@FocusedCreative) reported

    Hey @HostGator: we understand that sometimes tech goes wonky. A "Holy Crap! We're on it !!" is a much better response than "everything is fine". Let us know that you're on our side. #CustomerService

  • Duffs_Pub Ryan Duffley (@Duffs_Pub) reported

    @HGSupport If there is an major outage right now, please post it to your Twitter. I have multiple VPS/Dedicated accounts I cannot reach, many users out of service and so far have been unable to reach support.

  • gurupak Irfan Ahmed (@gurupak) reported

    @St3llard @HostGator @HGSupport Everything is down on HG. They were fixing portal and checkout and now they have down their whole network.

  • rajendra_menon Raj Menon (@rajendra_menon) reported

    @HGSupport @splatteredink Hello, that is not acceptable! You need to provide an ETA for my website, specifically! We are down for over 30 hours!!

  • gogogadgetguy GoGoGadgetGuy (@gogogadgetguy) reported

    @darkcompass @WordPress Who do you host with now ? I’ve had the same issue with @HostGator

  • hannahboog Hannah Carmichael (@hannahboog) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport trying to cancel my domain renewal but non of your advisors are helping me! Shocking service

  • oxign Steve (@oxign) reported

    @PokerDe4s @HostGator @HGSupport 48 hours for us! In a few hours my clients will have hundreds of employees expecting to access their email. And all we get from Hostgator is “it will be up in 1-2 hours. In 40 years of using different ISP’s I have never encountered anything as irresponsible or inept as this.
