-
coltswalker (@coltswalker) reportedThe worst web and email hosting provider is Hostgator. They suspend user accounts without warning. Their censorship policy is arbitrary allowing no clear definition of policy. Your opinion is not allowed on your own web site! #scam #HostGatorSux
-
Feo Amante 🇺🇸 🇮🇱 🇺🇦 (@FeoAmante) reportedDay 3 of @HGSupport / @HostGator tech support. Still no solutions in sight. The most obvious on the 1st day would be to reset from their end and give me the info my ftp client needs to connect, but no. Day 3
-
Faizan Shaikh (@FaizanS1996) reported@DanMicovic @HGSupport @HostGator That’s rough, 2 weeks with no access is unacceptable, especially for email and client sites. You may want to start looking at alternatives like Fresh Roasted Hosting. Their support is much more responsive, and the uptime has been solid in my experience.
-
Rafael Polcaro (@rafaelpolcaro) reported@HostGator for the past 4 months my website was offline for about 7 days, the Brazilian branch of Hostgator sadly it’s terrible, I'm just a few hours from completing 48 hours offline. Seems nobody cares, never had a server provider like this. It takes days to get the website on

Zennie Abraham ZENNIE62 #SuperBowlLX #NFLDRAFT (@ZennieAbraham62) reported@HGSupport WTF is going on?
-
Daniel Micovic (@DanMicovic) reported@HGsupport @HostGator now Google is taking down ads and organic ratings because the sties can't be reached. Thoughts? Compensation to regain rankings? Would love to hear any suggestions you may have as this disaster drags on.
-
HostGator Support (@HGSupport) reported@NoiseReturn @HostGator Thanks for flagging this. Our teams are available 24/7, and we’d like to help get you connected. If chat isn’t loading, try using incognito mode, disabling browser extensions, and ensuring JavaScript is enabled. Please DM additional information if that doesn't get you connected.

✌ Brando™ 🇨🇦 Whistler (@surfingshreddie) reported@HGSupport yes. chat said it was my fault. phone help says it is a HGator issue and is fixing one website at a time
-
Feo Amante 🇺🇸 🇮🇱 🇺🇦 (@FeoAmante) reported@HGSupport @ethanjaack I did that. Repeatedly. Kept the transcripts. Your phone and chat techs openly admit that they can do very little and sent it up the chain, twice. Escalated Support means email only and "Try this. Works on our end!" and they close the ticket. It's Sunday.
-
Fabiyi | React | TypeScript (@script_codes) reported@MudiTheInvestor @myarmone @HostGator Tbh It’s also happens with network providers. Most people they have answering the calls don’t know or can’t really provide a solution to your problems. Many times where I had to insist on them transferring me to their superior.
-
Mehmet (@mettersoy) reportedHostGator support eventually confirmed it: “All outbound connections are blocked.” Yes. The server could not make outbound HTTPS requests (port 443). If you’re a dev, you already know: That breaks EVERYTHING.
-
DN (@danielnardicio) reportedWhen looking to replace the dreadful @GoDaddy @GoDaddyHelp with a better company with better customer service, try out Bluehost SiteGround DreamHost HostGator HostPapa InMotion Hosting. You dont have to accept terrible customer service.
-
Kishor K Sukumar (@kishorksukumar) reported@HostGator @HGSupport @HostGator You still haven't answered the only question that matters: WHEN? "Assigned to the best team" doesn't help me after 9 DAYS of a completely locked-out server. Stop asking for patience and give me an actual ETA for ACOM-3138 immediately!
-
TBC🏄♂️❎ (@tennisballchips) reported@HostGator @WordPress Now it's created a whole new set of problems. At first, it kept directing me to some weird temporary domain. Then I logged in and updated the settings and now it's a 403 error page. Hours of my time is going down the drain for no reason.
-
Joseph Franco (@francojosephsd) reported@HGSupport How many sites do @HostGator have down?
-
Daniel Micovic (@DanMicovic) reported@HostGator @HGSupport entering day 6 without access to 3 revenue producing sites, and no one at HG has any answers, only cut-and-paste replies. Hearing nearly 50k sites still down and HG is recruiting help on Fiverr. Epic fail and clear signal that revenue producing sites cannot trust HG.
-
HostGator Support (@HGSupport) reported@DanMicovic @HostGator Thank you for continuing to stay in touch with us. If you have contacted support about this issue, then we have made sure that our engineers know that your account is affected.

Mrchispa (@Mrchispa8) reported@HostGator my website is down!! can you help us???
-
Lucas Castro (@adiospipino) reported@HGSupport I have a production server down for more than 24 hours and still no solution or clear update. Please provide news regarding the maintenance/work you said would be performed today on the affected CentOS servers related to the known cPanel issue reported by your team.
-
Zennie Abraham ZENNIE62MEDIA #CES #NFLDRAFT #SDCC (@ZennieAbraham62) reportedHey @HGSupport Vinayak is playing games with me. HG admins know how to update the SSL Certificate, but he acts like he can't do it and will not get help. I asked him to get a supervisor. He will not.
-
Zombyboy (@zombyboy) reported@DanMicovic @HostGator Not a single email has been sent to me since last week to let me know what is going on. For me, it's been two days (2 chat sessions and 3 phone calls at various times). The only email I received was last week telling me that our server had been patched and I didn't need to take any action. Then, a few days later, I woke up to our sales guys and editors asking why all of our sites are down. Tomorrow I will be looking at migration options.
-
Eder (@Eder55164219) reported@HostGator That's the problem, there's no way to contact them. send DM with case number
-
SC Dem (@MickSCDem) reported@HGSupport Once again, my dedicated server is down. Last time my sites were down for 4 days. I have yet to receive a reply from escalated support. Please fix this now.
-
Mike Shor (@MikeShor) reported@HostGator It makes me very sad but I'm transitioning all of my domains away from HostGator as your customer support went from amazing to complete crap in the last two years
-
HostGator Support (@HGSupport) reported@FeoAmante @HostGator Hey, Feo. We'd like to look further into this and get your site back online. Please send us a DM with any open (or closed) ticket IDs related to this issue, and we'd be happy to assist you from there.
-
HostGator Support (@HGSupport) reported@seanrogers8 @HostGator @spamhaus Spamhaus looks at email traffic from an IP address, often across many users on a shared server, not a single account. Our teams monitor and work with them to clear any listings. Please reach out to support so we can review your specific server and email setup.
-
Neumie Awards (@NeumieAwards) reported@HGSupport @HostGator my VPS has been up and down for almost five days now. Every chat session is "we know and we are working on it." Come on! What are you doing? I need this fixed
-
Lucho Señal⚡️ (@Luchocalabera) reported@HostGator @_CooLesT_ My website are all down.... No access at all yo any domain
-
Daniel Micovic (@DanMicovic) reported@HostGator @HGSupport Today makes six days without access to my server and three revenue generating sites. No new sales, no access to email will lead to customer (revenue) loss. Zero updates and appears no progress being made. The class-action law firms are circling. Complete incompetence on display.
