Hostgator Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • seanmarkey Sean Markey (@seanmarkey) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator That is not what happened. My buyer has been working with support for several days now. They cannot find the site, it is gone. Don’t worry, I don’t expect you to be able to resolve this, he has been working /w support for several days now. Just wanted to warn everyone else…

  • Chrisdog93 Chrisdog93 (@Chrisdog93) reported

    @GoDaddy I am transferring everything over to @HostGator since I found out what you did to your employees. That’s terrible.

  • CynderHost CynderHost (@CynderHost) reported

    @justamie2u @HGSupport @HostGator Amie - I'm really sorry to hear about your poor experience with HG. If you're looking for potential options, we've got a super responsive and helpful support team and ultra-reliable and affordable web hosting plans. Can we know more about your requirements?

  • the_ankish A n k i s h (@the_ankish) reported

    @HGSupport Getting an error, but your chat support could not resolve. It appears you don't have permission to access this page. 403 Error. Forbidden. Details send in message mode →

  • Rakenatech Rakena (@Rakenatech) reported

    @HGSupport a help please!!??

  • Perfectexpbiz Perfect Exposure (@Perfectexpbiz) reported

    @techspec_ @HostGator @HostGator adds services and hope you don't pick it up. When you want to cancel they stall and avoid refunding hoping the client gives up. I seriously encourage every user to look at a different host - it is SICK how they do business

  • P_Hendrickson Paula Hendrickson (@P_Hendrickson) reported

    Hey @HostGator? Is your site having issues today? My help chat was cut off & I haven't been able to log in since. I've sent 3 password reset requests (with several hours between the first & 3rd attempts), but still haven't received the email needed to reset my password.

  • seanmarkey Sean Markey (@seanmarkey) reported

    A word of warning: I sold someone an old site I no longer had use for. I pushed the domain, easy. I gave access to my @HostGator account to take over. HostGator ****** UP SO BAD AND DELETED THE SITE, and can’t figure out what happened or how to fix it. The site is GONE.

  • rahulsingh4ut rahul singh (@rahulsingh4ut) reported

    @HostGator I realy frustrated with your service and support, i have your dedicated server, and its get down after 2 PM but still it's not solve i raise ticket and call more than 5 times and chat continue but only reply for wait. What happening #HostgatorNotSupporting

  • KK35359713 KK (@KK35359713) reported

    @GoDaddyHelp please you have been such an inconvenience! You have slowed down my business I’m tired of dealing with your company and the tech support staff who aren’t knowledgeable at all! Please help me @HostGator switch my account over!

  • silver_huskey Angela Moseley (@silver_huskey) reported

    And the issue is fixed. Now that's awesome customer service from @HostGator.

  • justamie2u amie (@justamie2u) reported

    Anyone else having issues with @hostgator's control panel? I keep getting time out issues.

  • Moiztravadi1993 Moiz Travadi (@Moiztravadi1993) reported

    Hostgator Team, I am facing an issue related to the accounts department and I have raised this on 22 Dec 2020 and still it is not resolved. Country: India Case #: 28326724 Kindly reach me. @HostGator @HGSupport @hostgatorindia

  • ToshThakkar Tosh Thakkar (@ToshThakkar) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport @hostgatorindia seem to be too busy to respond to a generic query of a loyal long time customer...?

  • KK35359713 KK (@KK35359713) reported

    @GoDaddyPro Did not TAKE proper care of me as customer of five years, horrible tech support staff resulted in my site being down for several days I’m transferring all of my domains to @HostGator

  • KK35359713 KK (@KK35359713) reported

    @SmartCherrysTho @GoDaddyHelp Absolutely the worst service, their managers are not equipped to help resolve issues, my sites been down for days! @HGSupport I pray when I switch to you I’ll be happy with your service!

  • uneek_ness D2U (@uneek_ness) reported

    @ElinWaring @esd @joshtpm Hostgator hosts my Squarespace site. Squarespace only provided a template service (even though I could buy a separate hosting package from them). Are you saying that GoDaddy and Hostgator et al are protected by 230? Haven't seen that argument being made elsewhere

  • BreakingManc Breaking Manchester (@BreakingManc) reported

    @HostGator Why is your support so poor? I have spoken to 3 members of your so called technical support team and no-one has resolved an issue. Very, very poor!

  • seanmarkey Sean Markey (@seanmarkey) reported

    @HostGator It is nothing I or the buyer did. The site was at HostGator from when I acquired it and never moved it. Never ever keep a site a hostgator, even for a day. Pay the $ to have it moved or pay even more dearly later. I expected the worst from hostgator and they STILL let me down

  • techspec_ TROJAN HORSE (@techspec_) reported

    @HostGator scammed me, literally been charging me for over 16 months for literally 0 service. Thank god i snooped those transactions out. Better late then never. They don't wanna reimburse me apparently. Can we pop off!?

  • KK35359713 KK (@KK35359713) reported

    @GoDaddyHelp YOU SUCK! @HGSupport please help me switch my account over! All my websites are down because of lazy go daddy!

  • RachelBombX Rachel Varga (@RachelBombX) reported

    The BrothelLife Forum and Rachelbomb are down because of high cpu utilization. I'm waiting for access to fix the issue. Since 11am CST! Don't worry I will move these when I get this done because @HostGator @hostgatorsupport apparently doesn't give a **** about the small customers

  • KK35359713 KK (@KK35359713) reported

    I’m frustrated after my conversation with Anj @GoDaddy I’m taking my business to @HostGator my domain forwarding was done incorrectly after making numerous calls to go daddy’s tech support team I’ve come to the realization that they don’t care!

  • mayosdream Ellen Mayo (@mayosdream) reported

    @HGSupport - Okay so another failed effort to receive tech support from chat system. Once again, the issue has to be elevated -- so now I have to wait for someone to contact me by email. How pathetically inefficient is that????

  • KK35359713 KK (@KK35359713) reported

    @GoDaddy been on hold for over an hour! I’m DONE 😣 with go daddy the service has significantly declined! I’m moving my business to @HostGator

  • RachelBombX Rachel Varga (@RachelBombX) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator 24 hours to give me HTTP access to get into the site and fix it? I never had an issue with support. I have been patient but after this long, it's time to just get another webhost because this is ******* ridiculous.

  • brandlumicom BrandLumi (@brandlumicom) reported

    @seanmarkey @HostGator HostGator did have a backup for it? Wtf?

  • jenna_britton Jenna B (@jenna_britton) reported

    @HGSupport Is your chat support down? It just keeps spinning. One of my sites is down and trying to figure out how to get it back up and running.

  • miscellanity Mixtress Miscellanity (@miscellanity) reported

    The SSL cert for my website has expired and it's doing my head in, trying to figure this ******** out on HostGator - anyone got any experience here? Spent hours now and I'm ....running on patience fumes.

  • justamie2u amie (@justamie2u) reported

    If anyone is wondering, #Hostgator SUCKS. My emails on all of my hosted accounts stopped syncing last night. They blame "user error" but nothing on my end changed. #pisspoor customer service. Working on moving to new hosting as of today.
