    Guess what I'm doing right now? Chatting with @HostGator again for the fifth time in a week / third time within 24 hours. What a ****-show.

  • ImEdward83 Edward Johnson (@ImEdward83) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport @hostgatorindia Hello, Brand Ambesaddor of worst hosting of world. Any update for the solution???

  • shaunoconnor1 Shaun O Connor (@shaunoconnor1) reported

    @Beruud @HGSupport @HostGator That's crazy 🫤 Seemed like Hostgator had a massive outage last night aswell. HG websites and email down across the board. Things are hopefully back to normal now, I just sent a test email and it arrived immediately.

  • hither2forlorn Bob (@hither2forlorn) reported

    @twelchsysad @HostGator Worst service, after 12 years with the company now I am ready to move on. My reseller account has about 60% uptime at the best for the past 1 month.

  • DoubleMHerbals DoubleMHerbals (@DoubleMHerbals) reported

    @HostGator Website is working fine, but email notifications our site sends out are not working at all. New users can't register, etc. Are the email servers down?

  • gemmalouise_may Gemma Louise May (@gemmalouise_may) reported

    @HGSupport I've been trying your live chat support for weeks, multiple conversations and had absolutely no help what-so-ever.

  • iam_donolaf Olaf (@iam_donolaf) reported

    @HostGator Having this issue

  • gemmalouise_may Gemma Louise May (@gemmalouise_may) reported

    @HGSupport is there an email I can use to contact support? Your chat service is terrible.

  • ImEdward83 Edward Johnson (@ImEdward83) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator @hostgatorindia hosting company is still alive???? WORST HOSTING EVER. kindly hire support staff and pay them so we (buyers) don't need to wait hours and hours just to stat our problems and we end up by disconnecting chat from you side.

  • nick_knezevich nick knezevich (@nick_knezevich) reported

    @HostGator I’m so upset with the quality of your service. Such a simple request I need and I can’t even get you on the phone. It’s been 2 days that I’ve been trying. The Chat online you recommended when I called doesn’t respond. When I call it’s crazy hold times or you hang up.

  • virtualismex 𝑬𝒅𝒖𝒂𝒓𝒅𝒐 𝑹𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒓𝒐 (@virtualismex) reported

    @HostGator Servers with mail problems since yesterday affecting clients (infiniti and grace at least). Emails do not reach recipients 😤 @HGSupport

  • shoaibhussain Shoaib Hussain (@shoaibhussain) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator still not resolved. Will it be soon or will it take days like the data center migration which you had last week ? websites were down for most of last week!

  • tomtolkien Tom Tolkien (@tomtolkien) reported

    @HostGator We moved all our sites to other hosts after your chat support repeatedly denied there were any problems. I hope your company learns from this.

  • iam_donolaf Olaf (@iam_donolaf) reported

    @HostGator Because I have been having issues logging to the backend and sometimes get redirected to another site

  • nsyncfiction It’s Gonna Be May (@nsyncfiction) reported

    Is anyone seeing popups on the archive or is it something on my machine? I saw that hostgator was having some server issues so I checked the site. I was able to stop them with a popup blocker but I don't want anything malicous installed on our site.

  • DanielB76985500 Daniel Baptista (@DanielB76985500) reported

    @HostGator Down again?

  • __stardst Mei ✨ (@__stardst) reported

    @HostGator Hey! Our SMTP service does not work since last friday. Are you going to fix it?

  • tabrisius Tabrisius (@tabrisius) reported

    @HGSupport email issue again!!!

  • HGSupport HostGator Support (@HGSupport) reported

    @jamiepogue @HostGator Hello Jamie, We have not been provided with an ETA at this time, but our advanced support team is actively working diligently to get it back up and running as soon as possible, we appreciate your patience!

  • spiritoftwi 🕉SpiritOfTwilight☯️ (@spiritoftwi) reported

    Still chatting with @HostGator since 9:00am this morning. It's now 11:08am and they still have yet to resolve my server issue.

  • hither2forlorn Bob (@hither2forlorn) reported

    what is an alternative to @HostGator ? @HGSupport sucks big time now. Been with them for over 10 years, now its time to move on.

  • tazmahan Panos (@tazmahan) reported

    @HGSupport any news about the latest email deliverability issue? Some mails are delivered after hours, others do not, without any message. All clients are ranting and we don't know what to tell them... Once again we provide terrible service without being our fault. 😔

  • VitorRosas Vitor Mastrangelo Rosas (@VitorRosas) reported

    @HostGator @HostGator any news? Services are still down...

  • RogerMorales305 Roger Morales (@RogerMorales305) reported

    @HostGator worse than our website & emails being down for 3 days is having to talk to ur customer service ppl in another country who can't fix anything & are obviously reading a script down 3 days called again this am to hear a wait time of 99 mins means you're not calling back.
