  • t4bacademy Teaching 4 Business (@t4bacademy) reported

    @Sebas_706 @HostGator Yep - it would seem so. Again! And no doubt we are all on hold for the same support agent!

  • arrucarol Maiza arrucaro (@arrucarol) reported

    @HostGator hello guys, passing by to help you not to have the same problem as me, don't buy hosting on hostgator, terrible support, slow site, they say that ssl is included in the plan, but actually it is not, my site is with virus, due to this fact, I transferred my website to a platform.

  • dreampunchboy Phillip van Coller (@dreampunchboy) reported

    @HostGator @HostGator No response on live chats? No movement on services... Websites down. I signed for your services 24 hours ago and nothing is up. What is going on? How can we get hold of someone if your main channels are ignored?

  • acadiasystems Acadia Systems, Inc. (@acadiasystems) reported

    @ReachAboveMedia @HostGator Same issue! Support is just not helpful at all. 😠

  • shonthebuilder Shon the Builder (@shonthebuilder) reported

    @Namecheap What is going on over there?? I cannot receive or send email and this is a huge problem. And now it says limited chat and delayed assistance? Looks like I will be migrating everything over to @GoDaddy or @HostGator. This is literally costing ME money. 😭

  • t4bacademy Teaching 4 Business (@t4bacademy) reported

    @HostGator are you systems down again! All of our web and mail servers have just gone offline.

  • roosites Barry Roos (@roosites) reported

    @HostGator Same issue here, can someone at @HostGator explain what is causing the outages?

  • SteveCinq Steven Cinquegrana (@SteveCinq) reported

    @HostGator We are DOWN AGAIN!!!!!!!!!! IP has reverted to 198.57.244.192. PLEASE GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER!!!

  • AffiliatesWatch The Affiliate Watch (@AffiliatesWatch) reported

    @LynneKelly @MLConklin @HostGator You definitely want to avoid both HostGator and Bluehost....owned by the same company, same bad service.

  • DustyOrgan Dusty *****: New Music Publication (@DustyOrgan) reported

    Ugh. Just a heads up my website is down AGAIN b/c of @HostGator. I'll let you know when it's back up! (And if anyone has a recommendation for a hosting service, I'm all ears)

  • davebarish Dave Barish (@davebarish) reported

    @HostGator my server is down and the 5-minute waiting time in the chat hasn't changed in 15 minutes. Help!

  • jeff_rogerson Jeff Rogerson (@jeff_rogerson) reported

    @HGSupport unable to get to my site. Any issues I should know about?

  • thepinoylancers Pinoylancers (@thepinoylancers) reported

    @HostGator I have multiple websites down right now. Please help.

  • SteveCinq Steven Cinquegrana (@SteveCinq) reported

    @HostGator And, yes, it was a DNS issue as we now have a new IP of 50.87.144.94 ... amateurs/principantes/aficionados!

  • cjuareza #SoloSeQueTengoSed (@cjuareza) reported

    @CaliCreamin @HostGator @hostgator is down and sometimes online but too slow

  • reelmockery Reel Mockery (@reelmockery) reported

    @HostGator Sites are down again. Is this going to be a periodic thing now? Come on HG. Get it together.

  • SteveCinq Steven Cinquegrana (@SteveCinq) reported

    @HGSupport "So ownership can be verified"??? Seriously? All sites on our account are down. That doesn't require verifying a thing. Have you screwed up your DNS?? What?

  • arrucarol Maiza arrucaro (@arrucarol) reported

    @HostGator that really respects its customers, I know this because I have other websites hosted on it so I speak with property. I asked for my refund, they said they deposited it in my account but the money never appeared , I went to the bank for the money the manager said it was

  • LynneKelly Lynne Kelly 🐘🐳 (@LynneKelly) reported

    @MLConklin Yes, I love @HostGator! Customer service has always been helpful whenever I've had a question, and I've never had a problem with the site

  • t4bacademy Teaching 4 Business (@t4bacademy) reported

    I presume your servers are down again @HostGator - for the second time in a day - third time in a week. We can't even get support through the Portal because that server is offline too. Can anyone help?

  • 1090TheMightier The Mightier 1090 ESPN Radio (@1090TheMightier) reported

    Down again @HostGator ? This is getting to be a monthly ordeal. All websites and email accounts are down...again.

  • Fabsesparza Fabio Esparza (@Fabsesparza) reported

    @HostGator I have a VPS server in hostgator latam and the whole ip is unresponsive. Also need some help.

  • GutmanEdward Edward Gutman (@GutmanEdward) reported

    @HostGator are you having data center issues? Was working on my VPS and all the sudden it disappeared. Can't even ping it. Also tried from a remote location.

  • elnovio_atomico el novio atomico (@elnovio_atomico) reported

    @HostGator havin troubles? Server is down :(

  • DevNiles DevNiles (@DevNiles) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator My dedicated box isn't relaying an IP address and can't be pinged. Is #Hostgator experiencing an outage, I'm seeing a lot of people suddenly posting outages with Hostgator... Is there somewhere online I can see your statuses?

  • thecybersecdad The Cybersecurity Guy/Dad (@thecybersecdad) reported

    Your DNS servers may be hosted by your website service, like Wix or Squarespace, or on your domain registrar like Godaddy or Hostgator. The TXT should look something like this “v=DMARC1; p=quarantine; rua=mailto:you@domain; ruf=mailto:you@domain; sp=quarantine; ri=86400”

  • SteveCinq Steven Cinquegrana (@SteveCinq) reported

    @megaloli @JL_Altamira @HostGator They won’t reveal what the issue was because it opens them up to legal liability. I understand that reticence but it doesn’t make for good customer relations.

  • listall_m Listall Models (@listall_m) reported

    @Sebas_706 @HostGator I think so, as my site is down 🤬

  • ArnulfoFD Arnulfus (@ArnulfoFD) reported

    @HostGator Hi, I am a customer for more than ten years and this is the first time all my websites are down!! I am freaking out, please explain why this is happening and when it till be fixed!

  • burnslawoffice Harry Burns (@burnslawoffice) reported

    Now a week since my business's email/calendar have been down due to server issues at @HostGator. Over the last week I have spent 10 hours on phone with @HGSupport with no resolution. Today I got an email from @HGSupport saying I will be billed $25 for "backup restoration. Huh?
