    @HGSupport "Sorry for the issue, we are working on it", is the only word your customer care executive have. Can't expect more from you.

  • securewp WordPress Security (@securewp) reported

  • mensajetextos Mensaje Textos (@mensajetextos) reported

    @HGSupport Hello, All sites that use a database are down. Pages that are static are up. Is this a WP problem or has there been a hack?

  • knavethemage David Madison (@knavethemage) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator I thought you WERE support?!

  • 510_BUDS_OUT BUDS OUT (@510_BUDS_OUT) reported

    @HGSupport Is this why I can't get anyone to gives us some certainty about this supposed 99% uptime you guys tout around? We have a reseller package, how do I sell this? I'm tired of dealing with outsourced support with no authority, do you even have US-based folks who can talk business ?

  • t4bacademy Teaching 4 Business (@t4bacademy) reported

    @StooCollins @HostGator And even their support personnel are saying their internal systems are down - so no support, no web servers, and no indication of when they will be back up and running - sigh

  • Mr_Kochka Nicolas Beudon (@Mr_Kochka) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport Website is down since about one hour. No access to wp-admin or cpanel. What's happening ?

  • t4bacademy Teaching 4 Business (@t4bacademy) reported

    Hi @HostGator and @HGSupport could you please let us know why your web hosting server and email server is down and when it will be back online? Can't get through to support via phone.

  • knavethemage David Madison/Nate (@knavethemage) reported

    Hostgator was bought up by EIG, an umbrella company buying up a bunch of website hosting companies. When you search for hosting companies, GOOGLE puts them and their individual companies at or near the TOP of the list. I want to cancel my service with them.

  • knavethemage David Madison (@knavethemage) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator I appreciate the response. The website method is not working. I was trying to remember and change my password; but never got the email that they said they had sent. I need help to cancel this; because I don't know how to contact support.

    @HostGator @SiteLock Utterly unreliability service

  • SetraHosting SetraHost (@SetraHosting) reported

    @Amitsharmaheart bluehost, HostGator, ResellerClub and BigRock are all owned by the same company. Do you find better service with bluehost's sister companies?

  • HiromiActs Hiromi Okuyama #hiromiacts (@HiromiActs) reported

    Dear @Printful @WooCommerce I’ve been having so many problems syncing my products for a month. My web designer & I already did all the Hostgator stuff, it’s an issue on your ends. Please Fix 🙏

  • HGSupport HostGator Support (@HGSupport) reported

    @knavethemage @HostGator Hello David. Have you contacted support, before the charge date, to cancel the related item and invoice? If you have, please DM us the case ID, or the email address to your account!

  • knavethemage David Madison/Nate (@knavethemage) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator #hostgator will not allow me to cancel. They are charging me another $143.40 (hosting) $18.99 for domain; even though they completely STOPPED MY SERVICE MORE THAN A YEAR AGO. I've been trying to stop them from continuing to charge me money.

  • FGOABORG I need to come up with a clever name (@FGOABORG) reported

    @SetraHosting @Amitsharmaheart Having worked for HostGator, the answer is no. They consolidated most of their support. HostGator did support for literally dozens of Endurance brands and for the most part, the other brand support was bleh.

  • goldhatcarls GoldHatCarls🚀 (@goldhatcarls) reported

    Web3 website is down. HostGator must restart the server. What an innovation.

  • HiromiActs Hiromi Okuyama #hiromiacts (@HiromiActs) reported

    Dear @Printful @WooCommerce I’ve been having so many problems syncing my products My web designer & I already did all the Hostgator stuff, it’s an issue on your ends It’s not a server issue as servers don’t discriminate which Colors get synced & which ones don’t Pls Fix

  • Lucage Luca Gemelli (@Lucage) reported

    Do you want emails you send to be delayed six hours . Choose #hostgator. They will delay also replying to your case. Customer care is something different !
