Hostgator Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Dinup Dinup Parajuli (@Dinup) reported

    @HostGator Why is your server keeps having Connectivity issues?? Please provide a better support. Pathetic

  • Benitez2Ines ines benitez (@Benitez2Ines) reported

    @HGSupport Your apologies are useless The problem is already 5 days old and you still don't even know when it will be resolved, I think your clients prefer that you delete those emails that are queued to release the gateway than keep us waiting for so long unless that not the real problem

  • KitchenerTesla TeslaKitchener (@KitchenerTesla) reported

    @HostGator @scentedability We are also having email deliverability issues. Any update on this?

    What's a better alternative to @HostGator? My sites have been down repeatedly for a week now.

  • r_sotojr Ricky (@r_sotojr) reported

    @HostGator DAY SIX OF HORRIBLE SERVICE. Who even runs this company? Anyone suggestions on hosting providers? This is the second time in a year they've screwed up emails for this long. Last time they blamed AWS for a TWO WEEK outage. STAY AWAY.

  • lbustamantemx Luis Bustamante (@lbustamantemx) reported

    @HGSupport Well... I would do that but I CAN'T ACCESS MY ACCOUNT because the web doesn't send the email to reset my password. And there is no other support channel.

  • zahidshujakhan zahid khan (@zahidshujakhan) reported

  • dpcnh1 Dave Corbin (@dpcnh1) reported

    @HostGator Still outbound email issues. Very problematic.

  • elpandagourmet Don Fu (@elpandagourmet) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport Gentlemen, you will receive a class action lawsuit if you don't solve the problem NOW. Lawyers are already preparing the text to be presented in court.

  • Benitez2Ines ines benitez (@Benitez2Ines) reported

    @HostGator Gentlemen, it's been more than 5 days with this problem, I need to send an email, please, an answer

  • r_sotojr Ricky (@r_sotojr) reported

    @HGSupport @CartelProhibido Usually when people don't have an ETA means they don't even know where the problem is. If this is the case then just say so so we can begin migrating our services ASAP.

  • shaunoconnor1 Shaun O Connor (@shaunoconnor1) reported

    @shoaibhussain @EsquibalUSA @HostGator Same, the 'Error Establishing A Database Connection' error was a regular occurrence for me too. Hostgator support insisted that it was something up with my WP installation or plugins (it clearly wasn't)

  • EsquibalUSA Hugo Cruz (@EsquibalUSA) reported

    @HostGator What is going on, i have all day with problems, i lost clients today! What happen?

  • shoaibhussain Shoaib Hussain (@shoaibhussain) reported

    @EsquibalUSA @HostGator Same thing happened with me. It had been happening once in a while since I first got my hosting. I turned a blind eye all this time but since last week websites and email have been going down practically for 70% of the time had to make a hard choice to change hosting! Good luck!

  • realjoeybee Joe Bee (@realjoeybee) reported

    @HostGator Is everyone STILL having issues or is it just me?

  • Benitez2Ines ines benitez (@Benitez2Ines) reported

    @HostGator Gentlemen, it's been more than 5 days with this problem, I need to send an email, please, an answer... I hope you give us a discount for these days of malfunction

  • Nicolas_Jurado Nicolás Jurado Allende (@Nicolas_Jurado) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport Chat has been hanging for a while this week. Another channel, to address support, please? #hostgator #hostgatorsupport

  • hhaestv Henry⚡ (@hhaestv) reported

    @HostGator Any issues regarding MySQL databases? All accounts in my plan are disconnected.

  • JigneshDazzle Jignesh Shah (@JigneshDazzle) reported

    @HostGator This is really strange that since last 5 days you people are telling that you are resolving issue of email but nothing happening. Are u understanding in today’s world due to non working email how much business loss we are observing?
