Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • DuckDegen Degen Duck (@DuckDegen) reported

    @bantg Wow. And i thought hostgator was bad

  • 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! 👍

  • GlewmeCorp Glewme Corp (@GlewmeCorp) reported

    @HGSupport Still stuck in the never ending chat of issues with someone unqualified to velcro a shoe

  • 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...

  • Ras_Tin Otaku 🇦🇬 (@Ras_Tin) reported

    Really dislike this new interface your guys rolled out @HostGator. Worst part is I can't rollback to the previous version

  • GlewmeCorp Glewme Corp (@GlewmeCorp) reported

    @HostGator Maybe you guys retrain the customer support to be aware of their job\

  • 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

  • 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

  • mvandemar Michael VanDeMar (@mvandemar) reported

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

  • 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.

  • GlewmeCorp Glewme Corp (@GlewmeCorp) reported

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

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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.

  • GlewmeCorp Glewme Corp (@GlewmeCorp) reported

    @HostGator @ID_Theft_Lawyer how much to retain your service to sue @hostgator here

  • GlewmeCorp Glewme Corp (@GlewmeCorp) reported

    @HGSupport I very seriously doubt that since we are here again with the same issue

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

    @pinkpinipig did you contact na the support of hostgator?

  • edw_yu Edward Yu (@edw_yu) reported

    @SiroCapital What's bad hosting? My site is on HostGator -should I move?

  • 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.

  • creatorcastle Young Minds Prosper (@creatorcastle) reported

    @HostGator @heyscottrowan your website has been down for two days I cant login, what should I do?

  • creatorcastle Creator Castle (@creatorcastle) reported

    @HostGator @heyscottrowan The portal is down please help!

  • ecarlesi Emiliano Carlesi (@ecarlesi) reported

    Threat on hxxps://accounts-confirmation-service[.]com/scam-pypalorgzer0[.]zip #phishing #opendir #hostgator

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • truesaver_net TrueSaver (@truesaver_net) reported

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

  • 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"

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • creatorcastle Young Minds Prosper (@creatorcastle) reported
