Hostgator Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • RedwoodGigantea Redwood Gigantea (@RedwoodGigantea) reported

    We're experiencing a site-wide outage as @hostgator migrates The Gigantea to a new server. This was planned on their end, but it wasn't communicated to us. Stay tuned. They're saying about an hour or so. We're not excited either, but it is temporary.

  • LegacyOaksAcdmy Legacy Oaks Academy (@LegacyOaksAcdmy) reported

    We are aware of our site outage. We are still waiting to hear from @HostGator on what the issue is. We apologize for the inconvenience.

  • SkyPix_UK SkyPix (@SkyPix_UK) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator So one tech support agent told me the reason all of my websites are offline for hours is due to an unplanned server malfunction. Another agent at the exact same time told me it had been planned for weeks. #notaclue #customerservice

  • RedwoodGigantea Redwood Gigantea (@RedwoodGigantea) reported

    We know that our site is down. We are working with our host @hostgator to resolve server issues. Stay tuned.

  • jackandkittyxo Kitty Norton & that guy (Jack) 😜 (@jackandkittyxo) reported

    @HostGator Our websites are down again. This happens at least once a month. No one answering chat or phone.

  • Jemedari_ Gradatim Ferociter (@Jemedari_) reported

    @bluehost NEVER EVER HOST YOUR SITE on BLUEHOST or THEIR SISTER SITES LIKE HOSTGATOR, RESELLERCLUB nk

  • Eduardo62613900 Eduardo Messias (@Eduardo62613900) reported

    @HostGator Good morning, I don't recommend it, they couldn't fix it, they canceled everything, I took more damage because of that bastard Rafael, I lost my company and almost my life.

  • GreyGeckoPress Grey Gecko Press (@GreyGeckoPress) reported

    @skystracloud Yup, same problem as @Skypix_uk has. Emails too. @HGSupport seems like they can't be bothered to answer my emails, phone calls (some problem with the phone system?) or chat (going on 30 minutes waiting).

  • WealthProfits Flav | Digital Creator (@WealthProfits) reported

    Anyone use @SiteGround for their hosting?? I am thinking of switching from @HostGator due to many problems and they want to charge me to fix the problems

  • SkyPix_UK SkyPix (@SkyPix_UK) reported

    @skystracloud cPanel now restored, but @HostGator tech support have abandoned the chat now. I can confirm that my server storage is 89664.2 mb.

  • GauravG985 Gaurav Gupta (@GauravG985) reported

  • jessikneeland Jessi Kneeland (@jessikneeland) reported

    @Cloudflare hey I’m having an issue— my hostgator Cpanel domain email server points to cloudflare, but I don’t have a cloudflare account. So I need someone at cloudflare to fix that, but I can’t access customer service without an account! Please help.

  • ryanbokros Ryan Bokros - Mancini Man Crush (@ryanbokros) reported

    @SkyPix_UK @HGSupport @HostGator I sure hope this isn’t the case…we were running a sale this weekend and would have never done so obviously knowing that our site would be out.

  • KvngEvy Kupolati Everest, M.B.A (@KvngEvy) reported

    @SkyPix_UK @HGSupport @HostGator This is really bad. This is affecting me badly!

  • Eduardo62613900 Eduardo Messias (@Eduardo62613900) reported

    @HostGator Good morning, I don't recommend it, they couldn't fix it, they canceled everything, I took more damage because of that bastard Rafael, I lost my company and almost my life.

  • SkyPix_UK SkyPix (@SkyPix_UK) reported

    @HGSupport, @HostGator I was sold your cloud hosting package because you promised me it would prevent downtime. Every single one of my websites and email accounts is offline, and no one is answering support.

  • tweet3993 Divya Shah (@tweet3993) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator, Really bad idea choosing hosting plan for 3 years from Hostgator for hosting... No hosting company is as bad and as du*b than this, they are solving issues since past few months.

    @HostGator your cloud servers have gone down and all of my websites are offline.

    @HGSupport known outages? My sites are down and I can’t get into CPanel.

    @skystracloud I think this is more of @HostGator issue. So many people have been complaining

  • SkyPix_UK SkyPix (@SkyPix_UK) reported

    @HostGator Yet again, your cloud servers have gone down and all of my websites and email are offline.

  • ReaLovelyWriter MyLovelyWriter 🦄🧚‍♀️🧝🏻‍♀️🖊📚🌸 (@ReaLovelyWriter) reported

    Heads up again! We may be expecting another downtime for the website. Apparently, Hostgator ran into issues last time so they were unable to migrate the server to their new data center. 😭 Downtime may happen anytime between August 19 - 22. Minimum 30min and max 2hrs.

  • RedwoodGigantea Redwood Gigantea (@RedwoodGigantea) reported

    Hi there! We know that our site is down right now and we are working with @HGSupport at @HostGator to get the site back. This was a planned outage on their end, but it was poorly communicated to us at the paper. We expect the site to be back soon.

  • angelacatkins Angela Atkins (@angelacatkins) reported

    @HostGator your support tech broke my entire website and took down another domain. Apparently, customer service is a thing of the past and technical support is an oxymoron. Where are the supervisors or escalation team?

  • KLHigginsSr Kevin Higgins (@KLHigginsSr) reported

    My @HostGator hosted site has been going down EVERY SINGLE DAY. When it happens, I lose my connection to my DB (via phpMyAdmin, my cPanel stops responding, the login page goes offline AND my web site goes offline. WTF is going on there, @HGSupport?
